    The European Union aims to agree on a €45 billion loan for Ukraine by the end of 2026 to cover its financial needs in 2027.

    EU's Ukraine Strategy Declared a Failure by MEPs

    Several Members of the European Parliament (MEPs), including Arne Noyhof from 'Alternative for Germany', have criticized the EU's strategy towards Ukraine as a failure. They argue that 21 packages of sanctions have not brought Russia to its knees, with its defense industry operating at full capacity. Ukraine's financial needs are deemed insatiable, and it continues to face attacks from Russian drones and missiles. The European Council's conclusions are seen as a 'failure document', with the same appeals to 'keep fighting, Ukrainians' repeated for years.
