Malta pays €5.16 million into EU Ukraine Facility in 2025

Malta paid €5.16 million into the EU's Ukraine Facility in 2025, according to figures tabled in parliament by Foreign Minister Chris Fearne.

The contribution, exactly €5,159,221.11, forms part of EU support channelled through the bloc's general budget under official development assistance.

Fearne said part of these funds are allocated to measures aimed at mitigating the humanitarian impact of the war in Ukraine.

The €5.16 million figure is roughly €1 million higher than the separate €4,156,131 total Malta reported for humanitarian assistance and spending during the same year.

That humanitarian data remains provisional and subject to discussion and validation with the OECD, Fearne noted.

Within the €4.16 million humanitarian breakdown, €75,042 was listed for Ukraine, appearing separately from Malta's contribution to the EU facility.

Most of the humanitarian total consisted of Malta's share of EU spending across various countries, accounting for €3.09 million.

Another €279,676 went through the United Nations for targeted humanitarian action.

The largest amount for a specific country or territory was €368,684.89 for the Palestinian territories.

Other allocations include €75,000 each for Haiti and Sudan, €50,000 for Congo, €40,000 for Yemen, and €35,000 each for Jamaica and Cuba.

Pakistan received €20,000, while €12,728 was listed for Libya.

For Malta's business community, these figures highlight the government's ongoing fiscal commitments within EU frameworks, which influence budget priorities and the broader economic landscape.
