Since Russia's full-scale war of aggression in 2022, the EU and its member states have committed more than €200 billion to Ukraine, but is EU aid to Ukraine really a one-way street? From the €90 billion support loan and 21 sanctions packages to Ukraine's path to EU membership, discover how the EU supports Ukraine and what Ukraine brings to the EU in return: security, drone innovation, critical raw materials and food supplies.
EU support to Ukraine spans economic assistance, humanitarian aid, military support through the European Peace Facility and protection for the more than four million Ukrainian refugees across the EU’s member states. At the same time, the EU has adopted its most far-reaching sanctions ever against Russia, targeting individuals, banks, energy and defence to reduce Russia's ability to wage war. And with accession negotiations opened in 2024, we can say that Ukraine's future definitely lies in the European Union.

We are the YouTube channel of the European Council and the Council of the EU
The European Council is the highest political body of the European Union, bringing together the heads of state or government of all EU member states, along with its President and the President of the European Commission. It sets the EU’s political agenda, addressing major challenges and defining strategic priorities, such as those outlined in the Strategic Agenda 2024–2029, which focuses on a free and democratic Europe, a strong and secure Europe, and a prosperous and competitive Europe. The European Council also plays a crucial role in crisis management, from responding to Russia’s war in Ukraine to tackling the COVID-19 pandemic. Decisions are typically made by consensus, and its meetings, often called ‘European summits’, take place at least four times a year in Brussels, Belgium.
The Council of the European Union (often referred to as the Council) is where the daily legislative and policy work of the EU happens. Comprising ministers from each EU member state, it negotiates and adopts laws, usually in partnership with the European Parliament, across 10 policy areas, from foreign affairs to energy. Meetings are held regularly in Brussels and Luxembourg. Unlike the European Council, the Council operates under a rotating six-month presidency, held by each member state in turn, ensuring that every EU country, regardless of size, has an equal voice in shaping European policies.
