EU Approves 106 Billion Dollar Loan Package for Ukraine

The EU on April 24 approved a $106 billion loan package to help Ukraine meet its economic and military needs for two years.

The European Union approved a major loan plan on April 24.

This plan amounts to $106 billion to support Ukraine for two years.

These funds can help Ukraine's military and economy.

Before this, Hungary disagreed with this plan, causing negotiations to stall for many months.

Later, when Russian oil rerouted through pipeline to Hungary, Hungary then withdrew its veto.

The EU also approved new sanctions against Russia.

Ukrainian President Zelensky stated that this money will help the military and support weapons production.
