Ukraine received $690 million in grant support from Japan and Canada under the Extraordinary Revenue Acceleration for Ukraine mechanism of the G7 countries.<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

This was reported<\/a> by the Ministry of Finance of Ukraine.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The funds will be used to finance priority social expenditures, including the payment of pensions and housing and communal subsidies.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The grant was formed from several contributions from international partners. Japan provided $544 million as the first tranche. Canada transferred $146 million as the final contribution. Another $0.8 million came from a multi-donor trust fund.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The G7 countries launched the ERA mechanism at the end of 2024 to accelerate the use of proceeds from frozen Russian assets in support of Ukraine.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Minister of Finance Serhiy Marchenko noted that these grant funds will help ensure macro-financial stability and financing of key government expenditures.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Since 2022, Japan has provided Ukraine with $9.5 billion in aid, and Canada has provided almost $9 billion.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

As previously reported, the European Parliament adopted a package of proposals aimed at supporting Ukraine with an EU loan of 90 billion euros for 2026 and 2027.<\/a><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

As a reminder, at the end of January , the European Parliament supported a proposal for a Council decision that would enable enhanced cooperation to establish a credit facility.<\/a> <\/p>\n
