Yesterday, the President of the European Parliament signed a legislative package on a loan to support Ukraine in the amount of 90 billion euros. This is indeed a significant guarantee, and it is important that this decision works for Ukraine as quickly and effectively as possible. I thank everyone who is working to make this happen
Addition
The European Commission needs to get Ukraine the much-needed loan of 90 billion euros, despite the resistance of Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban, and, as Politico reports, a struggle is underway to find a solution to bypass Orban, with a number of options.
As indicated, "the broader view in Brussels is that this requires a different approach." "That's why the European Parliament and the EU Council have already signed elements of the loan package that are not subject to Hungary's veto, ensuring the mechanism is ready" - "so that money can start flowing as soon as Hungary allows it."
