€1.4 Billion from Seized Russian Assets: EU Unveils Where the Money Will Go.

European Union Strengthens Its Support for Ukraine

According to UATV: The European Union is allocating €1.4 billion generated from frozen Russian assets to aid Ukraine. The announcement came on April 1. These funds will be used to sustain the Ukrainian state, maintain essential public services, and support the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

According to the breakdown, 95% of the proceeds will be channeled through the Ukraine Loan Cooperation Mechanism (ULCM), while the remaining 5% will go via the European Peace Facility (EPF). This decision marks a significant step in reinforcing European backing for Ukraine amid the ongoing conflict.

Ukraine's previous tranche from the EU was disbursed in August 2025. In addition, the European Commission has approved a €90 billion loan package for Ukraine covering 2026–2027.

These €1.4 billion will be sent where they are most needed: to keep the Ukrainian state running, to preserve essential public services, and to support the brave Armed Forces of Ukraine. — Ursula von der Leyen

This move underscores the EU's commitment to standing by Ukraine during its war with Russia. By tapping revenues from assets owned by Russian firms and individuals, Brussels signals its readiness to deploy financial tools to bolster stability and security in Ukraine. The funding will address not only military requirements but also critical social services, which remain vital during wartime.
