EU plans to continue aid for Kyiv in 2027

Denmark’s Minister of Economy, Stefanie Lose, announced that aid to Ukraine will continue beyond 2026. The European Union is already discussing financial support for Ukraine beyond that year, as the situation with Russian aggression remains extremely challenging, UkrInform reports. 

Denmark, which took over the EU Council presidency on 1 July, has made supporting Ukraine a key priority of its six-month leadership.

Lose says that the funding will be available until 2026, but she understands resources will be needed for the next period.

Commenting on the informal dinner of EU ministers of economy and finance held on Monday ahead of the EU Council meeting, where financial aid for Ukraine beyond 2026 was discussed, the official stated there was a “very good discussion” during which the parties explored “options under which Ukraine can receive everything it needs.”

The official highlights that strong solidarity with Ukraine exists within the European family and that aid will remain “at the very top of the agenda” throughout Denmark’s presidency.

Meanwhile, the European Commission is urgently discussing with the EU and G7 countries how to prevent a major financial shortfall in Ukraine in 2025. The projected gap in external funding could reach $19 billion, amid declining US support and no immediate prospects for a peace deal with Russia.

In 2024, Denmark introduced a unique military support mechanism for Ukraine — the Danish model. It involves direct funding and procurement of weapons from Ukrainian domestic defense enterprises. This approach strengthens Ukraine’s defense industry and provides the Armed Forces with modern NATO-standard equipment.
