Zelensky welcomes EU approval of €90 billion loan for Ukraine
President Volodymyr Zelensky welcomed a decision by EU leaders to approve a €90 billion loan for Ukraine at a two-day meeting in Cyprus on Thursday, ending a prolonged deadlock. Hungary's outgoing premier Viktor Orban had vetoed the funds until Kyiv repaired a pipeline hit by a Russian strike – work that has now been completed, allowing oil flows to resume.
