11 February 2026
The European Parliament has approved a €90-billion loan for Ukraine, providing a financial lifeline to cash-strapped Kyiv four years into Russia's invasion.
Lawmakers voted by 458 to 140 in favour of the loan.
Under the scheme, Ukraine will be able to spend €60 billion of the loan on desperately-needed weapons to fight off Russia's invasion, with the rest earmarked for general budget support.
