European Union leaders have agreed to extend €50 billion in aid to Ukraine, overcoming resistance from Hungary. The deal is seen as a significant boost for Ukraine as it faces Russia's ongoing aggression. The aid package, which will be funded within the EU budget, provides long-term and predictable funding for Ukraine's economic and financial stability. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky expressed gratitude for the unanimous decision, emphasizing the strong unity within the EU. Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban, Russia's closest ally in the EU, had initially objected to the aid but eventually agreed after securing assurances regarding blocked funds.
