On February 1, the head of state, Volodymyr Zelenskyy, officially commented on the European Union leaders' decision regarding the allocation of macro-financial assistance to Ukraine in the amount of 50 billion euros.
Zelenskyy's reaction to 50 billion euros from the EU
According to the Ukrainian president, he is sincerely grateful to Charles Michel and other leaders of the EU member states for creating a financial instrument for Ukraine, the Ukraine Facility, in the amount of up to 50 billion euros for 2024-2027.
Volodymyr Zelenskyy noted the decision was adopted unanimously by all 27 leaders and that this is very important.
This once again proves the powerful unity of the European Union, the Ukrainian leader emphasised.
According to Volodymyr Zelenskyy, the continuation of financial support from official Brussels for Ukraine will strengthen Ukraine's long-term economic and financial stability, which is no less important than military aid and sanctions pressure on Russia.
