The EU recently provided Ukraine with 90 billion euros.

Error detected

The claim states that €90 billion was 'provided' (disbursed) when in fact only approximately €3.2 billion — the first tranche — had been disbursed at the time of the speech.

The claim characterises the instrument as a 'gift' (подари), when it is legally a loan, even though repayment depends on Russian war reparations.

Omissions

• The claim uses the Bulgarian verb 'подари' (gave as a gift), characterising the instrument as a grant when in fact it is a loan — repayment is suspended unless Russia pays war reparations, but the legal structure remains a loan.
• The €90 billion is a multi-year commitment for 2026–2027, not an amount already provided. At the time of the session (16 June 2026), only the first tranche of approximately €3.2 billion had been disbursed.
• The MEP omits that the loan was agreed by EU member states through the European Council and Council of the EU via democratic procedures, and that it is tied to reform conditions on transparency and anti-corruption.
• Total EU and Member State support to Ukraine since February 2022 is significantly larger — approximately €177–204 billion across all instruments — so the €90 billion figure understates the overall EU effort if interpreted as total aid.
