The EU's Ukraine Support Loan, in which the UK now participates, amounts to EUR 90 billion.

Omissions

• The €90 billion is the total loan envelope for Ukraine (covering both general budget support — around €30 billion via macro-financial assistance — and military/defence procurement), not the amount the UK contributes; the UK's participation share is separate and much smaller.
• The loan is disbursed in instalments: the Commission disbursed a first €3.2 billion instalment on 25 June 2026, so the full €90 billion is a committed envelope, not money already paid out.
• UK participation became legally effective only after the Council implementing decision of 22 July 2026 (Decision (EU) 2026/1879), i.e. slightly after the 13 July contribution agreement referenced in the claim.
