The European Union has rejected a request from Ukraine to receive an early disbursement of part of a planned €90 billion loan, according to information obtained by the Bloomberg news agency.
Ukraine had approached the EU asking for accelerated access to a portion of this funding in order to cover a shortfall in its military budget that has emerged this year. The decision means Kyiv will need to find other ways to secure the funds required to sustain its war-related expenses in the near term.
Bloomberg did not specify the exact reasons behind the EU's decision to reject the early payout request, though the move points to difficulties in managing the large financial package and adhering to its disbursement schedule.
The €90 billion loan is part of broader Western support for Ukraine's defense against Russia's invasion, and the terms and timing of its disbursement have been a subject of discussion among EU member states.
