EU's €90B Ukraine loan: signature isn't a Hungary veto bypass
TL;DR
Claims that Hungary blocked Ukraine's €90 billion loan were false; European Parliament President Roberta Metsola signed the loan on behalf of the Parliament as part of the process, but final adoption requires unanimous approval by all EU member states. The loan aims to fund Kyiv's budget and defence, while Hungary's objections relate to the Druzhba oil pipeline dispute and are not overturned by this signature.
