During a press conference in Warsaw on Friday, Ukrainian leader Volodymyr Zelensky praised the European Union's decision to provide billions in additional aid, labeling it a "great victory" for his nation.
Zelensky emphasized that this financial support delivers a crucial message to Moscow, indicating that prolonging the conflict is not advantageous. He made these remarks following discussions with Polish President Karol Nawrocki.
After extended deliberations, EU member states finalized an agreement overnight to fund Ukraine over the coming two years.
The arrangement includes a €90 billion ($105.5 billion) interest-free loan from the EU to Kyiv. Should Russia fail to compensate for war-related damages, frozen Russian assets within the EU will be utilized to cover the repayment.
