EU sends Ukraine €3.9 billion to fund drones under loan deal
The revised payment redirects funding from drone procurement to direct budget support while a separate defense tranche will follow after oversight checks.
- On June 25, the European Union delivered €3.2 billion in direct budget support to Ukraine during the Ukraine Recovery Conference in Gdansk, marking the first disbursement of the €90 billion macro-financial loan program.
- Rigorous compliance protocols necessitated the restructuring, as authorities required comprehensive monitoring of military capital before releasing defense-specific funds; the original plan allocated €5.9 billion for defense.
- European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen announced today that the European Union disbursed €3.9 billion for advanced drone production, the first installment of a €6 billion package branded as "drones from Ukraine, for Ukraine."
- Ukrainian Prime Minister Yuliia Svyrydenko confirmed the funds support domestic drone production and urgent frontline supplies, extending the Danish-model strategy of directly funding defense industrial capacity rather than external military transfers.
- Remaining payments within the €6 billion drone tranche are expected "in the coming days," officials said, as the European Union continues rolling out the broader €90 billion package through 2027.
