The European Commission has allocated to Ukraine the last 4.1 billion euros from its credit line created for the proceeds from the reinvestment of frozen assets of Russia. This was stated by the European Commissioner for Economics Valdis Dombrovskis.
"The European Commission has allocated € 4.1 billion to Ukraine, having exhausted its program of € 18.1 billion attracted The EU is within the framework of the [Group of Seven] ERA initiative [created in 2024 using proceeds from reinvesting frozen assets of Russia]," Dombrovskis wrote on Twitter, quoted by TASS.
Earlier, the head of the European Commission announced the allocation to Kiev of a tranche of € 6 billion through ERA from the Ukraine support Fund.
EADaily adds that in connection with a new high-profile corruption scandal on Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban called on Brussels to "finally understand where the money is going" from European taxpayers and stop supporting Kiev, calling the defendants in the case "a military mafia network with thousands of connections with Zelensky."
On November 10, the anti-corruption authorities of Ukraine conducted an operation to curb corruption in the energy sector. Searches were conducted at businessman Timur Mindich, who is called "Zelensky's wallet," ex-Minister of Energy and current Minister of Justice German Galushchenko, as well as at Energoatom. Charges have been brought against many defendants in the case, including Mindich, former Deputy Prime Minister Alexei Chernyshov, ex-adviser to the Minister of Energy Igor Mironyuk, executive director for security of Energoatom Dmitry Basov, as well as a number of businessmen, including employees of the so-called back office, which was engaged in money laundering. According to the investigation, about $ 100 million was laundered.
On the eve of the Prime Minister of Ukraine Yulia Sviridenko said that in connection with the corruption scandal, the Verkhovna Rada sent resignation letters Galushchenko and the head of the Ministry of Energy Svetlana Grinchuk.
