Ukraine’s Progress in Meeting EU Requirements
Since the launch of the Ukraine Facility, Ukraine has completed 63 out of 68 necessary steps. For the period of 2024-2027, the total amount of assistance under the program is approximately €50 billion, of which €38.3 billion is allocated for direct budget support. More than €24.4 billion has already been received in the state budget since 2024, with over €8.3 billion in 2025. Ukraine received the previous fifth tranche from the EU on November 5, highlighting the momentum of reforms aimed at integration into the EU.
“The EU Council decided to provide support based on the results of the third quarter of 2025, in which Ukraine met 8 out of 10 indicators outlined in the Ukraine Plan.”
Support for the Private Sector through the World Bank
In addition to European assistance, Ukraine has received $290 million under the World Bank project “Resilient, Inclusive, and Environmentally Sustainable Entrepreneurship” (RISE), aimed at supporting the private sector. The main goal of the program is to address pressing business issues, including insufficient financing and limited access to markets. Among the funds received, $80 million was secured through a guarantee from the Japanese government via the International Bank for Reconstruction and Development.
The RISE project has been implemented in Ukraine since 2024 under the Program-for-Results financial model, which allocates funds only after specific performance indicators are achieved. The total amount of financing under RISE for 2024-2027 exceeds $1 billion, of which $540 million has already been secured. The program aims to support about 20,000 small and medium-sized enterprises and create and preserve at least 40,000 jobs.
