The European Union has significantly reduced its latest financial aid package to Ukraine, withholding nearly €1.5 billion due to Kyiv's failure to implement key anti-corruption reforms. Ukraine will receive only a partial payment from the fourth tranche of the Ukraine Facility program, after meeting just 13 out of 16 required milestones. The move comes as a major setback for President Zelensky, highlighting ongoing governance and corruption issues even as the country faces war. EU officials have made it clear that future aid is contingent on Ukraine's progress in judicial and anti-corruption reforms. This decision underscores the EU's insistence on accountability and reform as prerequisites for continued financial support.
