EU unblocks €90B loan to Ukraine

The loan is seen as vital support for Kyiv as it continues to defend against the Russian invasion.

The shift in Hungary's position follows the recent electoral defeat of pro-Russian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán.

EU ambassadors in Brussels have given preliminary approval to the funding, which will be paired with new sanctions on Moscow.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky hailed the decision, stating that the country's frontline position is currently the strongest it has been in a year.
