Battles in the Bakhmut and Novopavlovsk directions, 87 military clashes, enemy shelling, support by the European Commission for the Ukraine Plan. How will the 782nd day of a full-scale war be remembered?
The European Commission supported the Ukraine Plan reform plan within the framework of the Ukraine Facility mechanism. It determines the conditions for receiving 50 billion euros of macro-financial assistance in 2024-2027.
The European Commission believes that the reform plan “effectively addresses the objectives of the Ukraine Facility, identifying key reforms and investments that can contribute to sustainable economic growth and attract investment to strengthen the country's growth potential in the medium and long term.”
The European Commission also noted that the Ukraine Plan is the basis for the restoration of Ukraine; it contains adequate mechanisms for protecting the financial interests of the EU.
The approval of the reform plan now requires the approval of EU member states. A month is allotted for this. After this, the European Commission will be able to allocate up to 1.89 billion euros in the form of preliminary funding before the start of regular payments.
