EU Budgetary Proposals: Department of Finance
Mr. Gary Tobin:
In general, they have been creating loan facilities to help Ukraine by way of favourable loans for the Ukrainian economy. Needless to say, the Ukrainian economy has been fairly decimated by the war. Obviously, the more we can help the economy to survive and continue, the likelihood is that whenever the war ends, the quicker the country will get back on its own feet. It even comes down to paying doctors and nurses. If Ukraine cannot pay the doctors and nurses, some of them may leave and that is not something we would want.
