“The third transfer of 1.6 billion euros from frozen assets of the Central Bank of Russia has become accessible to Ukraine’s support,” the European Commission reported.
In particular, last Friday, the European Union received 1.6 billion euros of so -called extraordinary profits from frozen assets of the Central Bank of Russia, which are stored in the Central Depositors of EU Securities.
The first such transfer took place in July 2024 and the second in April 2025.
“The third transfer covers the revenues accumulated during the first half of 2025,” the Euro -officials said.
“90% of the first two tranches were used to support Ukraine through the European Peace Fund (EPF), and 10% through the UKRAINE Facility tool. Starting from this third tranche, 95% of revenues will be aimed at supporting Ukraine through the mechanism of credit cooperation with Ukraine (ULCM) and 5% through EPF. EU macro -financial assistance loans, as well as loans from bilateral creditors, ”the European Commission said.
Recall that extraordinary profits come from assets frozen within the EU sanctions introduced in response to Russia’s aggression against Ukraine. Although the assets themselves remain blocked, interest on cash balances can be used to support Ukraine.
As reported by “European Truth” in July 2025 Ukraine received 1 billion euros From the EU, at the expense of revenues from Russia as part of another initiative – ERA from the G7 countries.
In June, Ukraine also received from the European Union EUR 1 billion due to Russian frozen assets.
In 2024 G7 has agreed to jointly grant Ukraine a loan for $ 50 billion at the expense of the assets of the Russian Federation: funds will be formally given as a loan, but will be repaid at the expense of income from frozen Russian assets. The European Union has a total of 18.1 billion euros within this mechanism.
