Unblocked EU loan provides relief to Ukraine's strained finances

European Union ambassadors unblocked ⁠on Wednesday a ​90-billion-euro ($106 billion) loan to Ukraine that is critical for Kyiv's ability to keep up the fight against Russia. The loan, which ​was approved by the European Council in December, had been halted by a Hungarian veto amid a dispute over oil flows via the Druzhba pipeline.
