The Ukrainian negotiating team was headed by Deputy Head of the Presidential Office Ihor Zhovkva.
He thanked the Dutch side for the EU's approval on February 1 of an extremely important decision to create a new financial instrument for Ukraine, the Ukraine Facility, with a size of up to EUR 50 billion for 2024-2027.
"Sustained support and cohesion of the EU are critical for our economic and financial stability, as well as military assistance and sanctions pressure on the aggressor. All this brings our common victory closer," emphasized Ihor Zhovkva.
