Under the Ukraine Facility program, the country will receive €2.1 billion in the form of a loan and an additional €200 million in grant assistance. This decision was made by the EU Council based on the results of the third quarter of 2025, during which Ukraine met 8 out of 10 key indicators outlined in the Ukraine Plan. The new tranche is the sixth in the current support program.

Business Support: World Bank’s RISE Project
In addition to EU funds, Ukraine also received $290 million under the World Bank’s project “Resilient, Inclusive, and Environmentally Sustainable Entrepreneurship” (RISE) to support the private sector. The main goal of the program is to address pressing issues in entrepreneurship, particularly overcoming financing gaps and expanding access to markets. Of the mentioned amount, $80 million was secured through a guarantee from the Government of Japan from the International Bank for Reconstruction and Development. The project utilizes the Program-for-Results financial instrument, which provides funding only upon achieving specified performance indicators.
The implementation of the RISE project in Ukraine began in 2024, and the total funding amount for the period until 2027 will exceed $1 billion, of which $540 million has already been secured. The program aims to support 20,000 small and medium-sized enterprises and will contribute to the creation and preservation of at least 40,000 jobs.
