European Union countries agree on a 90 billion euro loan package for Ukraine

European Union countries have finalized a deal to provide Ukraine with a 90 billion euro loan, funded by joint EU debt. The agreement is designed to support Ukraine's financial needs until at least 2027.

In related discussions on European security, Estonian Prime Minister Kaja Kallas rejected the idea of creating a separate European army, stating it would not replace NATO. Separately, UK Labour Party leader Keir Starmer expressed support for the UK joining an EU defense fund, signaling a potential future shift in UK-EU security cooperation.
