EIB Group provided a record €1.5 billion for Ukraine in 2025

The European Investment Bank, together with the European Investment Fund as part of the EIB Group, delivered almost €1.5 billion in financing in 2025 – a record year of support since the start of Russia’s full-scale invasion.

The financing supports essential services including energy, water and heating, transport, healthcare and education, as well as small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) through loans, guarantees and equity.

EIB Group President Nadia Calviño said: “Today, more than ever, Europe stands with Ukraine. At the EIB Group, Ukraine is a top priority. Our focus is clear: energy, heating, water, transport, healthcare and education – the systems that keep daily life running and the country strong.”

“EU guarantees empower the EIB to invest at scale in Ukraine, ensuring that European solidarity delivers tangible results. Combined with EU grants and technical assistance, this support reinforces resilience and moves Ukraine closer to the European Union,” EU Ambassador to Ukraine Katarína Mathernová said.

Last year, energy security stood at the core of the EIB’s support. In 2025, the EIB signed a €300 million operation with Naftogaz Ukraine, complemented by a €127 million EU grant, enabled through Norway’s Ukraine Facility contribution, to replenish gas reserves and stabilise supply. The Bank also provided €120 million to Ukrhydroenergo to rehabilitate strategic hydropower plants and €200 million through partner banks to help municipalities restore and modernise district heating systems.
