"EU Summit Showdown: Funding Ukraine and Confronting Hungary's Orban"
TL;DR Summary
EU leaders unanimously agreed to extend 50 billion euros in new aid to Ukraine, overcoming Hungary's objections after weeks of resistance. The aid package, within the EU budget, was welcomed by Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelenskiy and is expected to strengthen the country's long-term economic and financial stability as it continues to fight Russia. In exchange for Hungary's approval, the EU did not commit to releasing frozen funds for Hungary and included provisions for yearly discussions and a review of the aid package.
