Head of the European Commission Ursula von der Leyen announced the allocation of EUR 1.5 billion to Ukraine as part of a package of macro-financial assistance (MFA), in particular for the restoration of infrastructure.

"I firmly condemn the Russian strikes on Ukrainian grain storage and export infrastructure. As Russia continues its ruthless war, we continue to support Ukraine. Today we paid another EUR 1.5 billion, to help keep the state running and repair infrastructure. More will come," von der Leyen said on Twitter on Tuesday.
