Euractiv | European Council approves financial package for Ukraine as part of its budget

An extraordinary summit of the European Council is held on 1 February. During the summit, the main topic was the financial support package for Ukraine as part of the multiannual European budget. Although the package was blocked by Hungary back in December, it has now been approved. Žiga Faktor, Director of our Brussels office and deputy director, commented on the event and its circumstances for Euractiv.

All Member States will work to ensure that funding for Ukraine is handled in the context of the EU-Ukraine partnership, respecting European law and within the framework of Ukraine's accession process to the EU.
