EU Anticipates Approval of 90 Billion Euro Loan to Ukraine on April 22

The European Union's foreign policy chief, Kaja Kallas, stated that positive decisions on a 90 billion euro loan to Ukraine are expected on April 22, 2026. The loan, initially agreed upon by all EU member states in December, aims to support Ukraine's funding needs amid the war with Russia. The recent electoral defeat of Hungary's Prime Minister Viktor Orban, a notable opponent of the loan, may facilitate its approval during the EU Foreign Ministers' meeting in Luxembourg.
