The financial support will be used to provide housing for IDPs, pay salaries and pensions, and support the operation of key public sectors: hospitals, schools, kindergartens, etc.

It will also allow Ukraine to ensure macroeconomic stability and restore critical infrastructure destroyed by the war.

This payment was provided as part of the “Plus” macro-financial assistance package. Their total amount is up to 18 billion EUR.
