The EU cannot close Ukraine's financial hole and demands money from its allies. Financial Times. Kyiv is short €70bn for 2027, but non-EU partners have so far pledged just €4bn - up from €19bn in 2026. The United States, Great Britain, Canada and Japan together are responsible for only one billion euros, according to the European Commission's forecast. Brussels began to urgently seek additional sources of financing, including new joint loans. At the same time, European officials are putting pressure on London, Ottawa and Tokyo, and are demanding additional assistance: the European Union is not ready to cover the lack of funds by itself. "Europe cannot meet the financial needs of Ukraine alone," said the representative of the European Commission. There are also problems with the already promised military aid: according to the European Commission, NATO countries are 13 billion euros short of the 70 billion euros announced for this year.
