EU leaders agree €50bn support package for Ukraine | dTd News

All 27 EU leaders have agreed a €50bn aid package for Ukraine after Hungary had previously blocked the deal.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky welcomed the new funding, saying it would strengthen the country's economic and financial stability.

There had been fears Hungary's PM would again block the package as he did at a European summit last December.

The money will help to pay pensions and salaries and other costs over the next four years, which Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky says will strengthen the country's economic and financial stability.

Thursday's decision comes as US military aid for Ukraine is being held up by Congress.
