The EU has indeed payed billions of euros to Ukraine in fact the European Union official website describes it as unprecedented funding and support to Ukraine in both military and humanitarian efforts. Converted to USD for easier comprehension for American readers the union has paid over 174 billion dollars to Ukraine since the start of their war with Russia. Because the EU is a governmental agency they have to make their budget public so all records of the funds that are going out to Ukraine from the EU are exact and confirmed because it is required to be so. Additionally it was stated that the EU is looking to bring Ukraine into the union to further protect it from any future Russian threats. Therefore cementing this claims truthfulness and eliminating any bias from this heated topic.

It is true that the EU has made significant financial contributions to Ukraine, in order to support the country in the ongoing conflict with Russia. An article published to the European External Action Service website on January 15, 2025, reports that since the start of the war "the EU and our Member States have made available close to $145 billion* in financial, military, humanitarian, and refugee assistance." 

*This amount in USD converts to €141,897,000,000.

The claim that the EU has sent billions to Ukraine is true. There is a public website that lays everything out and shows us how much is being sent. In 2024 the EU sent the first 1.6 billion to Ukraine. This money came from immobilized Russian assets but is still funds being sent to the country giving this headline a truthful narrative. 

In fact, the headline doesn't do itself enough justice. In 2024, European leaders vowed to commit 54 billion dollars to Ukraine and its efforts to rebuild and revitalize it self.

While this post doesn't directly talk about what the EU has provided money for, or have a reliable source as it's just from a social media platform. It is true, the EU, as of December 9th, 2024 approved the planned payment of 4.2 billion Euros. As stated in an article from Reuters, the money will go towards EU's Ukraine facilities, and will help Ukraines economy as it continues to fight against Russia. From an article by us news, it states that the EU has provided more aid than anyone else at a staggering $93 billion in USD, followed by the military value of the US which is valued at $75 billion USD. In that same article it also states that the global aid for Ukraine was at 253 billion Euros or $278 billion USD.

This claim is true. The European Union has pledged to support Ukraine openly in their war effort against Russia for quite some time now. They’ve provided Ukraine not only with monetary support but also with munitions. In fact, It’s possible that The European Union may want to increase their contribution to Ukraine due to the fact President Trump is likely to want to reduce or even stop US funding to Ukraine.
