The EU finalised a 90 billion euro loan to cover Ukraine's financial and military needs in 2026 and 2027 and approved a 20th sanctions package against Russia, after Hungary and Slovakia lifted vetoes once Russian oil flows through the Druzhba pipeline resumed after nearly three months. Zelensky said the money would go to weapons production, energy repairs before winter and social spending. European Council President Antonio Costa said 'Promised, delivered, implemented'.
