Kyiv is getting a much-delayed lifeline from Brussels, as it fights Moscow's invasion with nearly empty coffers.
That's after Ukraine repaired a pipeline carrying Russian crude to Hungary, Slovakia.

So, is this complex EU deal going to intensify the conflict?
And, considering the mistrust between the parties, will the agreement even last?
