What happened

António Costa met Volodymyr Zelenskyy during an EU summit in Brussels. During the summit, António Costa told MEPs that international partners must help close a €70bn funding shortfall Ukraine faces in 2027, as warned by Volodymyr Zelenskyy. The EU has agreed a €90bn loan covering 2026 and 2027, but the remaining third of Ukraine's financing needs for 2027 requires contributions from other partners.
