(2)In spring 2014, Ukraine embarked on an ambitious reform programme with the aim of stabilising its economy and improving the livelihoods of its citizens. The fight against corruption as well as constitutional, electoral and judicial reforms are among the top priorities on the agenda. The implementation of those reforms was supported by five consecutive macro-financial assistance programmes, under which Ukraine has received assistance in the form of loans for a total of EUR 5 billion. The latest macro-financial assistance, which was made available in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic pursuant to Decision (EU) 2020/701 of the European Parliament and of the Councilnote, provided EUR 1,2 billion in loans to Ukraine and was completed in September 2021.
