According to an UNIAN correspondent, this was stated by Deputy Head of the Presidential Administration of Ukraine Valeriy Chaly at a briefing in Kyiv on Tuesday.

"By October 22, a decision will be made regarding the disbursement of the third tranche within the first phase of macro-financial assistance, amounting to EUR 260 million. I think Ukraine could get this money in as early as November," Chaly said.

In addition, another EUR 500 million in aid is expected, and the legislative preparations are currently under way regarding the receipt of a third tranche of macro-financial assistance, ranging from EUR 1 to 2 billion,” Chaly said.
