The meeting will be held on March 10.

European ministers will discuss the issue of unblocking the EU loan of 90 billion euros to Ukraine. This was reported by a top EU diplomat on condition of anonymity, "Ukrayinska Pravda".

"I expect that this issue (about 90 billion for Ukraine. - Ed.), although it is not on the agenda, will be discussed tomorrow in the context of consideration of the item on Russia's aggression against Ukraine. Some delegations should raise this issue and the importance of reaching an agreement as soon as possible," the top diplomat said.

In addition, he expressed hope that the issue of providing Ukraine with 90 billion euros in 2026-27 could be approved before the European Council meeting (March 19-20).

"We need one state to withdraw its caveat regarding the agreement, which should have already been duly implemented, so that we can realize the first tranche in April," the interlocutor stressed.

He said the ministers will discuss other areas of support for Ukraine from the EU and the international community this year, which Ukraine can promptly receive as early as April 2026. In particular, they are talking about a new four-year IMF Extended Funding Facility for Ukraine and payment of the next tranches of Extraordinary Revenue Acceleration mechanisms from the G7 states and Ukraine facility.
