The European Commission announced €2.3 billion in financial support to help Ukraine rebuild despite ongoing Russian attacks.
This aid includes €1.8 billion in loan guarantees and €580 million in grants provided by international and bilateral public financial institutions, EU Commission President Ursula von der Leyen made the annoucement at a conference in Rome focused on Ukraine’s recovery plans.
Meanwhile, Kyiv faced a heavy barrage of hundreds of Russian drones (400) and more than a dozen missiles (18), resulting in two fatalities during the second major airstrike in two days.
The €2.3 billion forms part of the broader Ukraine Investment Framework, which von der Leyen said could mobilize up to €10 billion in total investments for the country’s rebuilding efforts.
Additionally, the Commission announced the launch of a new equity fund dedicated to Ukraine’s reconstruction, supported by the European Investment Bank alongside France, Germany, Italy, and Poland.
Starting with an initial capital of €220 million, this fund aims to raise €500 million by 2026, providing crucial financial resources to fuel Ukraine’s recovery.
