This will help maintain macroeconomic stability going forward,” tweeted the Ukrainian Prime Minister.
On December 10, 2022, the Council of the European Union supported the European Commission’s proposal to allocate additional financial support to Ukraine in 2023.

It is expected that preferential loan funds will be transferred to the state budget in 2023 in equal parts, taking into account Ukraine’s fulfillment of the conditions agreed by the parties.
