"EU Leaders Seal $50 Billion Aid Deal for Ukraine Amid Orban Isolation"

EU leaders reached a deal to provide €50 billion in funding to Ukraine over the next four years after Hungary, led by Prime Minister Viktor Orban, dropped its opposition. The aid package, which includes economic and humanitarian assistance, also aims to signal support for Ukraine amid Russia's invasion. The agreement is seen as a demonstration of EU unity and reliability, with hopes that it will encourage US assistance to Ukraine and reassure American taxpayers. Ukrainian President Zelenskyy welcomed the funding deal, while Hungarian Prime Minister Orban secured a control mechanism to ensure the funds are used sensibly.
