EU Unblocks €90 Billion Loan to Ukraine Amid Druzhba Pipeline Resumption

In a significant development for Ukraine, the EU has unblocked a €90 billion loan following the resumption of Russian oil flows through the Druzhba pipeline. This move comes after Hungary lifted its veto that had been delaying the funding for months. Ukrainian President Zelenskyy hailed the unblocking of the loan as a positive signal for the country amid ongoing conflict. The Druzhba pipeline, which is vital for transporting oil to Europe, has resumed operations, allowing Ukraine to move forward with essential repairs and funding plans. The EU’s decision to back a massive financial package aims to support Ukraine in its defense efforts against Russian aggression while simultaneously imposing new sanctions on Russia.
