"The European support loan for Ukraine has been unblocked ― €90 billion over two years," Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy wrote on X.
Hungary and Slovakia ― who had previously blocked the financial package ― failed to object before a 3 p.m. deadline, clearing the final hurdle to approve the loan.
Hopefully it will give Ukraine what it needs to defend from fascist aggressor.
They're calling it a "loan," but Ukraine only pays it back if Russia agrees to pay huge amounts of reparations. Since that will never happen, it means that the EU is handing over free money.
There's some question of how long they will be willing to keep this up.
