EU looks to UK, Canada, and Japan to plug €70bn hole in funding for Ukraine’s 2027 war effort

The EU is urging allies to help cover a €70bn funding gap for Ukraine in 2027, as President Zelensky estimates war costs at €155bn. EU leaders emphasize the need for international support, with the EU already providing significant aid. A €90bn loan has been agreed for 2026-2027, but funding for 2027 remains unfulfilled. The UK is expected to increase its contributions following a recent agreement, with both the EU and UK committed to supporting Ukraine until the conflict ends.
