EU leaders struck a deal Friday to provide Ukraine a 90-billion-euro loan to plug its looming budget shortfalls — but failed to agree on using frozen Russian assets to come up with the funds.
The agreement — which came after more than a day of talks at a summit in Brussels — offers Kyiv a desperately needed lifeline as US President Donald Trump pushes for a quick deal to end Russia’s war.
“We have a deal. Decision to provide 90 billion euros of support to Ukraine for 2026-27 approved,” EU chief Antonio Costa wrote on X. “We committed, we delivered.”
