First Deputy Chairman of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine Oleksandr Korniienko held a meeting with Director General of the European Commission's Directorate-General for Enlargement and Eastern Neighbourhood Gert Jan Koopman. The conversation was also attended by representatives of parliamentary factions and groups.

In course of the meeting, the parties discussed the European Union's long-term support for Ukraine's economic stability under the Ukraine Facility. Oleksandr Korniienko highlighted that this financial aid is critical for the country's recovery.

«Ukraine's financial stability is inseparable from European security. Prolongation of EU support is not just an expression of solidarity, but also a strategic investment in regional stability and protection of European interests,» the First Vice-Speaker noted.

He also recalled that Ukraine has already received €16.1 billion in 2024, while successfully fulfilling 36 reform indicators, nine of which were met ahead of schedule. According to the First Deputy Chairman of the Verkhovna Rada, a comprehensive and sustainable financial strategy for Ukraine can not only support domestic sustainability, but also strengthen the European Union's global leadership in resolving crises.

Oleksandr Kornienko thanked the European side for the constructive dialogue and attention to the needs of Ukraine in the context of the war and its further path to European integration.
