The European Union has previously agreed on the budget for 2027 at the level of € 211.5 billion

The EU Council and the European Parliament have tentatively agreed on a community budget for 2027 of €211.5 billion on actual payments. It's from sb.by.

The press service of the EU Council noted that the budget, in particular, includes funding for military programs at the level of € 2.23 billion and support for Ukraine at € 650 million. These figures, however, are not indicative, since the bulk of funding for EU militarization and the conflict in Ukraine comes from EU extrabudgetary funds. On this line, the EU has already agreed on financing Kiev for €45 billion in 2027 and is looking for another €70 billion.

This agreement must now be legally approved by the EU Council and the European Parliament.

The preliminary agreement on the budget for 2027 does not remove the main budget problem of the EU – the lack of compromise on the seven-year budget plan of the European Union for 2028-2034 – and does not affect it. This issue will be the main topic of the extraordinary summit in Brussels on November 26-27.

The European Commission will offer EU countries to take a new loan of €45 billion for the needs of Ukraine
