The European Union revealed that it will not be able to fulfil Kiev’s commitment to give Ukraine 3 billion euros out of a 9 billion euro financial aid package this year.
We had pertinent discussions regarding the final $3 billion of the $9 billion that was announced in May.
He continued: “Unfortunately, it was impossible to find a solution on how to proceed with it this year.
As a result, we see the need to make sure that concrete resources are transferred at the start of the following year.
The urgent financial needs of Ukraine force us to guarantee the transfer in January, he continued.
It is noteworthy that the European Commission offered last May the exceptional economic assistance package of Ukraine worth 9 billion euros. Of this sum, it has been decided to give 6 billion so far.
Aid in the amount of one billion euros was given to Ukraine in August of last year and another two billion in October. Before the year is out, 3 billion additional are anticipated to be transferred.
