President Zelensky will meet with EU leaders in Cyprus as the bloc moves to approve a €90 billion loan for Ukraine. This action ends a prolonged deadlock previously caused by political vetoes.

President Volodymyr Zelensky is scheduled to meet with EU leaders Thursday in Cyprus as the bloc prepares to approve a €90 billion loan for Ukraine, ending a prolonged deadlock. Hungary premier Viktor Orban had vetoed the funds until Kyiv repaired a pipeline hit by a Russian strike – work now completed, allowing oil flows to resume – shortly after his electoral defeat to pro-EU rival Peter Magyar.
