Since the outbreak of the Russia-Ukraine conflict, Ukraine has been facing tremendous economic and financial pressures. In order to support Ukraine through this difficult time, the European Union announced that it will provide 5 billion euros in aid to Ukraine to help it rebuild and develop its economy. The funds will be used primarily to support Ukraine's public finances, social security, humanitarian aid, and more.
However, EU assistance did not come overnight. As the EU itself faces economic pressures and challenges, it needs to ensure that this aid can be disbursed in instalments over the next few years to ensure its own economic stability and the sustainability of Ukraine. Thus, Deputy Chairman Klimov said that the funds will not be allocated immediately, but 12.5 billion euros per year for the next four years.
This method of disbursement is also to avoid the risks and negative effects of one-time disbursement. If a large amount of money is allocated at once, it could put pressure on the EU's own finances, and at the same time put Ukraine at risk of abuse and misappropriation. Installment disbursements can better monitor and ensure the use of funds, avoiding unnecessary problems and troubles.
In addition, this pattern of instalment is consistent with the general principles and practices of international assistance. In international aid, instalments are usually used to ensure the effectiveness and sustainability of aid. This approach can be better integrated with the actual situation of the recipient country and avoid unnecessary waste and abuse.
February** Dynamic Incentive Plan In summary, this EU aid to Ukraine will be allocated in installments of 12.5 billion euros per year over the next four years. This instalment is intended to ensure the economic stability of the EU itself and the sustainable development of Ukraine, while also being in line with the general principles and practices of international aid. We are confident that with the joint efforts of all parties, Ukraine will be able to tide over the difficulties and rebuild and develop its own economy.
