EU withholds extra funding for Ukraine until promised reforms are delivered
Brussels has turned down Ukraine's request for additional financial support this year, insisting on the implementation of previously promised reforms first, Financial Times reports.
The European Union has rejected a request from the Ukrainian government for additional financial assistance this year, according to information reported by the Financial Times.
According to the report, officials in Brussels state that the release of further funding depends on Ukraine's leadership carrying out reforms it had already committed to undertake. Until those commitments are fulfilled, additional funds will not be disbursed.
The decision signals the EU's intent to tie financial support more closely to concrete reform steps in Ukraine rather than providing funds unconditionally. The source text does not specify which exact reforms are expected or the scale of the support that was requested.
