EU Approves 90 Billion Euro Loan To Ukraine

Kiev may receive the first defense package from the loan "before Easter."

The European Union has signed a document on granting Ukraine a 90bn-euro loan. But the money will be allocated only in the spring.

This is reported by Sharter97.org with reference to the head of the European Parliament Roberta Metsola in social network X.

"Just signed a loan to support Ukraine in the amount of 90 billion euros on behalf of the European Parliament," - said Metsola.

She specified that such a loan is needed to:

support the functioning of vital public services;

preserve Ukraine's defense capabilities;

protect common security and freedom;

achieve real and sustainable peace;

ensure Ukraine's future in Europe.

It is worth noting that the EU has thus approved two of the three main documents that are needed to grant Ukraine a loan. But another document, which provides for changes to the EU's long-term budget, is blocked by Hungary.

The European Union expects "before Easter" to provide Ukraine with the first defense package financed from the 90 billion euro loan. European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen said this at a briefing of EU leaders in Kiev.
