The European Commission has agreed to allocate EUR 4.1 billion to Ukraine under the Ukraine Facility, Prime Minister Denys Shmyhal said.

"The European Commission gave a positive assessment of the reforms and noted that the government had fulfilled the necessary indicators to receive this tranche. We expect the EU Council to approve the decision as soon as possible. After that, the total amount of support within the Ukraine Facility for this year will amount to EUR 16.1 billion," Shmyhal wrote on his Telegram channel.

The Prime Minister noted that even despite the full-scale war with Russia, Ukraine continues to reform and transform itself in order to get closer to Europe and become a full-fledged member of the EU.
