Kyiv, December 19 (Xinhua) — Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy thanked the European Union on social media on Friday for its decision to allocate 90 billion euros in financial assistance to the country in 2026-2027.

He called the funds "significant support" that would strengthen Ukraine's resilience.

According to Interfax-Ukraine, German Chancellor Friedrich Merz announced earlier on Friday that EU leaders had reached an agreement on financial support for Kyiv in 2026-2027. He stated that Ukraine would receive an interest-free loan of €90 billion, which it would only have to repay after Russia pays reparations. Brussels also decided to immobilize Russian sovereign assets until Moscow reimburses Kyiv for its losses.
