On June 26, 2025, the European Union announced a €30.6 billion ($35.3 billion) financial commitment to support Ukraine in 2025, focusing on its repair, recovery, and reconstruction as part of its path toward EU accession. This pledge includes €3.5 billion ($4.1 billion) already disbursed under the Ukraine Facility and €7 billion ($8.2 billion) from the G7’s Enhanced Resilience and Assistance initiative, funded by revenues from frozen Russian assets. The European Council also adopted the 17th package of sanctions targeting Russia’s energy and financial sectors, including its “shadow fleet” of oil tankers, to address sanctions circumvention and environmental risks. EU leaders emphasized continued support for Ukraine’s military needs and its EU integration process, with discussions on an 18th sanctions package against Russia stalled due to opposition from Hungary and Slovakia. The EU also extended its road transport agreement with Ukraine until the end of 2025 to facilitate trade and aid delivery.
