In duly justified exceptional circumstances, in particular where a significant deterioration of the war makes it impossible for Ukraine to fulfil the conditions attached to the forms of support under this Regulation, the Facility may provide exceptional financing to Ukraine in order to maintain its macro-financial stability and to foster the achievement of the objectives set out in Article 3. Such exceptional financing shall be granted for individual periods of up to three months and shall cease as soon as the fulfilment of the conditions becomes possible again. Financing under this Article may be granted in addition to and during the same period of exceptional bridge financing granted under Article 25.
