In January 2025, the State Budget of Ukraine received $3.8 billion in funding, most of which is a contingent debt to the European Union. About this informs press service of the Ministry of Finance of Ukraine.
Of this amount, 3.1 billion dollars was provided by the EU, and another 700 million dollars was raised through the issuance of government bonds on the domestic market. The Ministry of Finance explained that the funds from the European Union are the first tranche within the framework of the ERA Loans program. These loans must be repaid from the income received from the frozen assets of the Russian Federation.
“That is, the costs of the loan will be borne by the aggressor country, not Ukraine. $3.1 billion are conditional debt obligations for Ukraine.” – it is noted in the message.
We will remind that for 2024, Ukraine’s debt obligations to the World Bank group increased by 65%, reaching 22.6 billion dollars.
