EU RESPONSE
Ukraine Investment Framework
The Ukraine Investment Framework is the investment arm of the EU’s €50 billion Ukraine Facility. Equipped with €9.3 billion in guarantees and grants, it aims to mobilise up to €40 billion in public and private investment for Ukraine’s recovery and reconstruction in cooperation with EU Member States, the Government of Ukraine and International Financial Institutions.
EU sanctions against Russia
In response to Vladimir Putin’s unprovoked and unjustified military aggression against Ukraine, the EU has put in place unprecedented sanctions designed to: reduce the Kremlin’s ability to finance the war; impose clear economic and political costs on Russia’s political elite; diminish Russia’s economic base.
Ukraine’s EU path
On 28 February 2022, Ukraine applied for EU membership. On 17 June 2022, the European Commission issued its opinion on the application. Based on the Commission’s recommendations, the European Council recognised Ukraine’s European perspective and granted the country candidate status on 23 June 2022. On 8 November 2023, as part of its Enlargement Package, the Commission published its report on Ukraine, recommending to open accession negotiations. On 25 June 2024, the European Union formally opened accession negotiations with Ukraine at an intergovernmental conference in Luxembourg.
