European Union countries have agreed to release a €6.6 billion programme of military aid for Ukraine. This aid package had been stalled since Spring 2023 due to a controversial veto imposed by Hungary. The agreement was reached during a meeting of the Political and Security Committee in Brussels.

Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

The aid package was part of the European Peace Facility (EPF), which reimburses donations made by member states. The deadlock was initially caused by Hungary's objection to Kyiv adding OTP Bank to the list of 'international sponsors of war.' The agreement to move forward was contingent on leadership changes in Hungary.
