Malta has contributed €5.16 million to Europe’s Ukraine Facility in 2025

“Part of these funds are allocated to measures aimed at mitigating the humanitarian impact of the war in Ukraine,” Foreign Minister Chris Fearne said in a reply to a Parliamentary Question.

The funds also supported efforts to strengthen social cohesion and inclusion in Ukrainian society, he said.

Fearne provided the figures in parliament on 4 November, answering questions from Opposition MP Graziella Attard Previ about Malta’s humanitarian contributions during 2025 and the countries that benefited.

Malta’s €5,159,221.11 share of the Ukraine Facility formed part of EU support through the bloc’s general budget, within the framework of official development assistance.

That contribution was about €1 million higher than the separate €4,156,131 total Malta reported for humanitarian assistance and spending during the same year.

Fearne said the humanitarian spending data remained provisional and subject to discussion and validation with the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development.

The reply also listed €75,042 for Ukraine within the €4.16 million humanitarian breakdown. This appeared 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 listed for a specific country or territory was €368,684.89 for the Palestinian territories, followed by €75,042 for Ukraine and €75,000 each for Haiti and Sudan.

The breakdown also included €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.
