The European Union's first €3.2 billion loan tranche, under the €90 billion package, is confirmed to disburse at the Ukraine Recovery Conference in Gdansk on 25 to 26 June 1. The disbursement was locked in by the 18 June EU Council conclusions, and it follows an earlier stumble: in early June the first tranche was delayed on unmet technical conditions, with only €2.8 billion released from a separate facility .
Ukraine's Rada approved the €90 billion package with the first tranche due mid-June , and that calendar has already drifted once, which makes the disbursement dates the part worth watching. A disbursement tied to a set-piece conference is harder to quietly postpone than one buried in a Council timetable, which is part of why Gdansk matters. If the €3.2 billion lands on the dates given, it signals the financing pipeline is working; if it slips again, the delay becomes the more telling fact.
