Parliament Backs 6 Bills Tied to EU Funds After Months of Stalling

Ukraine’s parliament backed six bills required under the EU’s Ukraine Facility, adopting two in full and four in the first reading, after months of deadlock that lasted until the state treasury ran nearly empty. The EU funding tied to these steps totals about €1.5 billion ($1.7 billion), but Kyiv must complete all legislative procedures and win the European Commission’s approval first.

Parliament Backs 6 Bills Tied to EU Funds After Months of Stalling

Ukraine's parliament has approved six bills tied to EU funds, following a months-long stalemate. The bills cover commitments to donors and address reforms required under EU programs and an IMF loan. Lawmakers passed bills No. 15024 and No. 15437 in the second reading, while four others passed on the first reading. These measures are crucial for receiving €1.5 billion in EU aid, which is contingent on completing legislative procedures and securing a positive assessment from the European Commission.

The Ukraine Facility, a 2024-27 financial support program for Ukraine, depends on these structural indicators and the implementation of reform obligations.
