Article 5
1. The non-repayable financial support under the Mechanism shall be available under the conditions set out in Articles 6, 7 and 8 to assist Ukraine to repay the principal, interest and any other related costs of: (a) the MFA Loan; and (b) eligible bilateral loans. 2. The non-repayable financial support under the Mechanism shall be allocated to assist Ukraine to repay the MFA Loan and eligible bilateral loans referred to in paragraph 1 in proportion to the principal of each loan expressed in euro against the sum of the principal of the MFA Loan and all eligible bilateral loans expressed in euro. Once the MFA Loan or an eligible bilateral loan has been fully repaid by Ukraine, including interest and any other related costs, such allocation shall be adjusted so that any future resources under the Mechanism are allocated to remaining loans in proportion to the principal of each loan expressed in euro against the sum of the principal of all remaining loans expressed in euro. 3. The Commission shall adopt a decision establishing the allocation provided for in paragraph 2 of this Article between the MFA Loan and eligible bilateral loans. The Commission shall use the principal of each eligible bilateral loan expressed in euro as referred to in Article 6(5), point (b). The Commission shall without delay amend that decision to include each bilateral loan upon the entry into force of that loan. The Commission may amend that decision to proportionally reduce the allocation to a bilateral loan should that bilateral loan not be fully disbursed by 31 December 2027. 4. The overall amount of the principal of the MFA Loan and eligible bilateral loans referred to in paragraph 1 shall not exceed EUR 45 billion. 5. The non-repayable financial support under the Mechanism shall be carried out in euro. 6. All payments shall be subject to the availability of the resources referred to in Article 4(1). 7. The Union shall not assume any liability for the repayment of eligible bilateral loans.
