18 billion euros for Ukraine from the EU
In December 2022 the European Union allocated to Ukraine macro-financial assistance for 2023 in the amount of 18 billion euros.
Earlier, European media wrote that the veto on the allocation of 18 billion euros to Ukraine was imposed by Poland and Hungary. Budapest made concessions in exchange for subsidies to Hungary. Warsaw, which opposed the 15% corporate income tax rate, also supported Ukraine.
It should be noted that according to the President of the European Commission Ursula von der Leyen, EU allocates 19.7 billion euros to Ukraine in 2022 financial assistance.
