The executive arm of the European Union on Monday announced a 500 million euro (US$497 million) support budget to help Ukraine’s housing, education, and agricultural sectors.

The agreement was made in the wings of an EU-Ukraine Association Council meeting in Brussels with Ukrainian Prime Minister Denys Shmygal. It comes more than six months after Ukraine was invaded by Russia.
