BREAKING: EU Approves €90B Loan To Ukraine

The EU agreed to release the €90 billion loan to Ukraine on Thursday following months of tense negotiations.

“The European support loan for Ukraine has been unblocked ― €90 billion over two years,” Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy wrote on X.

Hungary and Slovakia ― who had previously blocked the financial package ― failed to object before a 3 p.m. deadline, clearing the final hurdle to approve the loan.

The two countries lifted their vetoes after oil flows through the Druzhba pipeline, which was damaged by Russian strikes earlier this year, resumed on Thursday.

Commission President Ursula von der Leyen celebrated the news on her way to Cyprus, where she is meeting with European leaders to discuss the energy crisis caused by the war in the Middle East.

“While Russia doubles down on its aggression, we are doubling down on our support to the brave Ukrainian nation enabling Ukraine to defend itself,”
