The European Union has encountered obstacles in agreeing on a €90 billion loan for Ukraine, which should cover 70% of its financial needs in 2026-2027. The adoption of the 20th sanctions package against the Russian Federation also remains in question..

As Suspilne reports, answering questions from journalists during a working visit to Ukraine, the High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy of the EU, Kaya Kallas, stated this.. She did not specify the nature of the “obstacles,” but obviously we are talking about the position of Hungary, which blocked the loan due to the termination of the transit of Russian oil through the Druzhba pipeline after it was damaged by a PF drone.

“Unfortunately, we have certain obstacles both in terms of the 20th package of sanctions and in the provision of a loan. Work continues to overcome these obstacles, but unfortunately at the moment I have no good news and I cannot report that this loan will be granted. Therefore, we continue to work and hope that this decision will be made at the next meeting of the European Council,” said the European diplomat.

The news is being updated.
