26 EU member states have made a fundamental decision on the need to include Ukraine in the multi-year EU budget, which gives hope for the approval of a €50 billion package early next year. The main problem is when we will be able to receive the first tranche.
This was stated by MP, Chairman of the Verkhovna Rada Budget Committee Roksolana Pidlasa.
— In January, a summit of the heads of the EU member states is due to take place, who must decide that Ukraine becomes part of the seven-year EU budget; accordingly, the Ukraine Facility program is being launched, for which we are drawing up a reform plan. Ukraine will receive tranches of assistance directly to the state budget after fulfilling the conditions of this plan, — she explained.

At the same time, she noted that “we may have a rather difficult period in the first quarter, when funding from all international partners has not yet arrived, so we expect that the EU will accept the issue of providing budget support to Ukraine”.
According to her, it will be ideal for Ukraine if this happens in January.
The Office of the President also said the day before that Hungary’s blocking of the allocation of €50 billion in aid to Ukraine can be circumvented and there are at least three options for this.
In addition, French President Emmanuel Macron and President Charles Michel said that there are ways to provide Ukraine with macro-financial assistance, despite the Hungarian veto.
