Ukraine lacks 70 billion euros On November 26-27, EU leaders will meet for a special summit to decide where to get money for Ukraine for 2027. Even if you take into account the 45 billion euros that the European Union itself is ready to allocate, the hole in the Ukrainian budget is about 70 billion. Partners outside the EU (Norway, UK, Canada, Japan) gave less than promised, so we will probably have to take a new loan. This will have to be done in parallel with the dispute over the EU budget itself for the years 2028–2034; Moreover, in 2027 there will be elections in seven countries of the bloc, including France, Italy and Poland, so the voters will also have to be oriented. Money is also tight because of corruption. Brussels has tied every share to anti-corruption reforms, but the Rada is slowing them down, so that out of 45 billion euros for this year, Kyiv has only received about a third. An illustrative example is the State Investigations Office, which can search for any official, judge or military person. The European Union demands that its head be chosen by a decisive vote of foreign experts, and not actually in the president's office. Zelensky promised to submit a bill back in January, but he still hasn't, and the deadlines have been missed. On October 17, the EU and Ukraine even created a joint working group to push for these reforms. while the deputy is invited to summon.
