Zelensky Submits €90 Billion EU Support Loan Ratification Bill to Verkhovna Rada

| Ukraine

On May 28, 2026, President Zelensky submitted bill No. 0376 to Ukraine's Verkhovna Rada (parliament) for ratification of the EU-Ukraine Support Loan agreement totaling €90 billion for 2026–2027. The package comprises €16.7 billion for the state budget and €28.3 billion for defense needs — the largest single EU financial commitment to Ukraine since the start of the full-scale invasion. The €2.5 billion Gripen E/F jet purchase agreement signed with Sweden the same day draws on this EU loan. The loan package was unblocked after Hungary's election changed Budapest's blocking posture toward EU Ukraine aid. Ratification by the Rada formalizes the legal framework for disbursement.
