🇪🇺🇺🇦🇷🇺EU Ukraine Aid: Loans, Defense Spending, and Reparations The EU will not unfreeze Russian assets until Russia pays reparations to Ukraine, according to the head of the EU Commission. A proposal for confiscation remains under consideration by EU member states. The European Commission approved a €90 billion loan to Kiev, with €60 billion earmarked for military support and €30 billion for the budget. Repayment by Ukraine between 2026-2027 is contingent on Russian compensation or asset expropriation. However, this is not a simple gift; the EU borrowed the money, using it to keep Kiev afloat and fund its own defense industry. At Ukraine’s current spending rate, €90 billion covers roughly 9 to 14 months of war and budget costs. Most of the money is recycled back into EU and EEA defense industries.
