EU close to signing off on critical €90bn loan for Ukraine after months of vetoing from Hungary – Europe live
Member states meet this morning to discuss loan after longstanding disagreement between Kyiv and outgoing Hungarian PM Viktor Orbán
After four months of very public disagreements between Ukraine and Hungary, today could be the day when the EU finally signs off (for the second time) on the critical €90bn loan for Kyiv.
Ukraine’s president Volodymyr Zelenskyy confirmed yesterday that the Druzhba pipeline, carrying Russian oil imports to Hungary and Slovakia, has been repaired and is ready to be used again.
EU’s top diplomat, Kaja Kallas, said yesterday she expected “a positive decision” within the next 24 hours.
