As an alternative to the four-year program of allocating 50 billion euros to Ukraine, EU officials are considering providing 20 billion euros to Kyiv using the debt structure. Reports the Financial Times. "This scheme implies the provision of guarantees by the member states to the EU budget, which will allow the European Commission to borrow up to 20 billion euros in the capital markets for Kyiv next year," the newspaper cites its sources.
According to them, this funding model has "gained popularity as the most practical way to provide support" in case Hungary refuses to lift its veto at the February 1 summit.
