The move follows Hungary lifting its veto, while the bloc also adopted new Russia sanctions
The European Union has formally approved a €90 billion ($105 billion) emergency loan for Ukraine for 2026-2027 and adopted its 20th package of sanctions against Russia, the bloc's presidency said on Thursday.
