EU Unlocks 90 Billion Euro Loan And New Russia Sanctions

The European Union’s twentieth sanctions package against Russia and a ninety billion euro loan for Ukraine both cleared the final veto today after Hungary and Slovakia dropped their opposition.

The breakthrough follows the restoration of the Druzhba oil pipeline, which Ukraine repaired after a Russian strike.

The sanctions target Russia’s shadow fleet, LNG maritime services, military industry and drone production.

With Viktor Orbán gone from Budapest, new Prime Minister Péter Magyar is already dismantling his predecessor’s pro-Russia and pro-Israel foreign policy stance.

The EU loan keeps Kyiv’s war economy alive for two years.

For the first time in months, Brussels is moving faster than Washington on Ukraine.
