EU's Financial Support for Ukraine
The European Union is formulating a backup plan to provide Ukraine with up to 40 billion euros in loans, independent of U.S. involvement. This initiative is driven by concerns about the stability of Ukraine's finances amidst ongoing conflict, stemming from a previous G7 proposal to utilize frozen Russian assets for support. However, Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban's intentions to delay finalizing these plans until after the upcoming U.S. elections pose a significant challenge, as he holds veto power in the EU. To circumvent this obstacle, the new plan would allow loans to be issued under an existing financial support framework that only requires majority backing from EU member states, thus enabling progression without Orban's consent.
