EU Commits to 90 Billion Euro Loan for Ukraine Despite Hungary's Veto Over Pipeline Dispute

On the fourth anniversary of Russia's invasion of Ukraine, EU Commission President Ursula von der Leyen reaffirmed the bloc's commitment to provide a 90 billion euro loan to Ukraine despite Hungary's veto linked to an energy dispute involving the damaged Druzhba oil pipeline. Ukraine blames Russian strikes for the damage and urges negotiations for an energy ceasefire. The EU has already provided around 193 billion euros in aid since the war began, while accession talks remain merit-based without a set date.
