We have a deal. Unity," said European Council President Charles Michel in a post on X. “All 27 leaders agreed on an additional 50 billion euro support package for Ukraine within the EU budget.”

The announcement came despite staunch objections from Hungary in December and in the days leading up to Thursday’s summit in Brussels.

Ukraine’s economy minister said Kyiv expects to receive the first tranche of 4.5 billion euros ($4.9 billion) from the EU in March.

      Unfortunately this is basic civilian government aid only.

      They can’t run the civilian side of the government if they are defeated militarily, which has a good possibility of happening if the US doesn’t resume military aid.

      US people, especially those with Republican representatives, please write your congress critter to pass the Ukraine aid package!!!
