"EU Leaders Reach Historic Agreement on €50 Billion Aid Package for Ukraine"
TL;DR Summary
EU leaders approve a €50 billion plan for Ukraine, known as the Ukraine Facility, after Viktor Orbán lifted his veto. The fund combines loans and grants and will be disbursed between 2024 and 2027, with payments conditional on structural reforms. Orbán had been blocking the release of funds, but a compromise was reached at an extraordinary summit in Brussels, where leaders also agreed on additional budget allocations. The agreement is welcomed by Ukrainian President Zelenskyy, and negotiations for the legal text are set to begin soon.
