EU Commits $39 Billion Loan to Rebuild Ukraine's Economy and Energy Infrastructure
The loan, part of a G7 package, aims to stabilize Ukraine's finances and repair its war-damaged power grid.
- The European Union will provide a $39 billion loan to Ukraine to support economic reconstruction and energy infrastructure repair.
- This loan is part of a larger $50 billion credit package promised by the G7 nations earlier this year.
- Funds will be backed by interest from frozen Russian assets, with the EU already contributing $132 billion in aid since the war began.
- The loan will help Ukraine rebuild its power grid, which has been heavily damaged by Russian attacks, ahead of the winter season.
- EU leaders emphasize the importance of supporting Ukraine to prevent further displacement of its population and ensure long-term stability.
