representing an advance payment of 7% of the loan support that Ukraine is eligible to

In accordance with Article 26(4) of Regulation (EU) 2024/792, EUR 11 939 263 363
has been disbursed to Ukraine in the first three instalments under the Plan, of which
EUR 3 400 000 000 has been disbursed in the form of non-repayable financial support
and EUR 8 307 021 428 in the form of loans. In accordance with the Loan Agreement
concluded between the Union and Ukraine pursuant to Article 22 of Regulation (EU)
2024/792, an amount of EUR 625 259 677 from the first three instalments was utilised
to clear the pre-financing of the loan.
In accordance with Article 26(2) of Regulation (EU) 2024/792, on 6 June 2025,
Ukraine submitted a duly justified request for the payment of a part of the fourth
instalment of the loan support, amounting to EUR 3 286 218 317. The request was
accompanied by a series of documents demonstrating the satisfactory fulfilment of 13
steps, as well as all other documents required under Article 12 of the Framework
Agreement, Article 5 of the Financing Agreement and Article 6 of the Loan
Agreement concluded between the Union and Ukraine pursuant to Articles 9, 10 and
22, respectively, of Regulation (EU) 2024/792.
In accordance with Implementing Decision (EU) 2024/1447, Ukraine has provided,
along with its request for payment, evidence demonstrating the satisfactory fulfilment
of 13 steps due by the first quarter of 2025. Those 13 steps relate to various reforms
set out in the Plan under the chapters on public administration reform, management of
public assets, human capital, decentralisation and regional policy, agri-food sector,
management of critical raw materials, digital transformation and green transition and
environmental protection. Legislation has entered into force on the civil service
remuneration, preschool education, public consultations on public policy,
strengthening the cyber security capabilities of state information resources and critical
information infrastructure and on the State Climate Policy. The strategy for the
development of Ukrainian culture as well as action plan for digitalisation of public
services until 2026 and action plan for the establishment of a national greenhouse gas
emissions trading system have been adopted. Ukraine has also adopted the roadmap on
the separation of public service obligations (PSO) and non-PSO activities, long-term
plan on the irrigation system, revised plan for allocation and use of radio spectrum. An
upgraded e-cabinet for subsoil users has been set up.
In accordance with Article 26(4) of Regulation (EU) 2024/792, the Commission has
assessed Ukraine’s request in detail and made a positive assessment of the satisfactory
fulfilment of 13 qualitative and quantitative steps out of the 16 steps included in the
fourth instalment, as specified in the Annex to this Decision. That positive assessment
has been made in the context of the implementation of the Plan. Further alignment
with the EU
acquis
will be facilitated through the EU accession process.
The Commission has assessed that Ukraine continues to fulfil the pre-condition for
Union support as set out in Article 5 of Regulation (EU) 2024/792. In particular,

Ukraine continues to uphold and respect effective democratic mechanisms, including a
multi-party parliamentary system and the rule of law, and to guarantee respect for
human rights, including the rights of persons belonging to minorities.

Measures related to the steps for which Ukraine had achieved satisfactory fulfilment in
the previous instalments of the Plan have not been reversed by Ukraine.
Therefore, this Decision should establish that the relevant conditions for the payment
of the fourth instalment in respect of 13 of the 16 steps under the Plan have been
satisfactorily fulfilled.
Considering the difficult fiscal situation Ukraine is facing, it is of the utmost
importance to disburse the funds as soon as possible. Given the urgency of
the situation and with a view to expediting the process, this Decision should enter into
force on the day of its publication in the
Official Journal of the European Union
and
should apply from the date of its adoption,
