What happened
The European Commission and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy discussed financial support packages for Ukraine, noting the conversations were positive regarding solutions for the country's funding deficit amid the war. The discussions centered on a €90 billion loan package, with €45 billion designated for the current year. This funding is partly unconditional, while other portions depend on the adoption of relevant draft laws by the Verkhovna Rada.
