“€8 billion for Ukraine is still slowed down.

And such an artificial delay in macro-financial assistance for our state is either a crime or a mistake,” Zelensky said in a video message on Telegram.

At the same time, he noted that he “does not want” to specify which European country is delaying the provision of assistance to Ukraine.

Earlier, President of the European Commission Ursula von der Leyen said that the EU allocated €1 billion to Ukraine through the European Investment Bank.

On August 2, the European Commission completed the transfer to Ukraine of the €1 billion macro-financial loan package agreed in July.
