Ukraine's dependence on European Union financing for the solvency of the state itself. Multi-year macro-financial assistance is the largest single share of Ukraine's external financing, and every tranche is subject to a unanimity any one member government can withhold.
European Union and the war in Ukraine relied on economically by Ukraine. A directional arrangement: the two parties do not hold the same position in it. Authored once and read from both ends.

Synthèse
The European Union is the largest single source of Ukraine's external financing, through multi-year macro-financial assistance that funds the operation of the state rather than the prosecution of the war. That division of labour is the structural fact: the United States has been the principal source of advanced weapons, and the Union the principal source of the money that pays salaries, pensions and public services in a country whose own revenue cannot cover them. The Union also hosts millions of refugees under temporary protection and is the prospective principal funder of reconstruction. Its constraint is procedural and severe: financing instruments, sanctions packages and accession steps all require unanimity among twenty-seven governments, so a single government's objection is a standing risk to continuity.
Pourquoi c’est important
A state that cannot pay its own public sector does not fail on the front line first. This dependency is why Ukraine's fiscal calendar is a security variable, and why the module treats European budget cycles alongside American aid votes as the two financing observables that matter most.

Ce qui reste inconnu
- Vigil publishes no disbursement figures, tranche schedules or budget-gap estimates. The dependence is recorded as structural rather than measured.
- The split between the Union's own instruments and member states' bilateral financing is not disaggregated here.
- Reconstruction financing is prospective. Nothing in this record describes committed post-war funding.
