To finance those costs, it is appropriate to first seek budgetary availabilities under existing budgetary ceilings including amounts that could be made available as a result of the reuse of surpluses and reflows from budgetary guarantees and financial instruments, and subsequently under other special instruments, while taking into account applicable sectoral rules, any legal or other obligations including under Article 10a of Council Regulation (EU, Euratom) 2020/2093, priorities, prudent budgeting and sound financial management, before mobilising a new thematic special instrument, namely the Ukraine Support Loan Instrument, in the framework of the budgetary procedure. Budgetary appropriations over and above the ceilings of the multiannual financial framework should be mobilised for the sole purpose of financing debt service costs of a loan to Ukraine to be provided through enhanced cooperation from, the Ukraine Support Loan Instrument and only after having sought budgetary availabilities. That is without prejudice to the obligation to respect at all times the own resources ceiling laid down in Article 3(1) of Decision (EU, Euratom) 2020/2053.
