EU leaders reach a compromise after plans to use frozen Russian assets failed to gain backing.
EU leaders struck a deal Friday to provide Ukraine a €90 billion (US$106 billion) loan to plug its looming budget shortfalls – but failed to agree on using frozen Russian assets to come up with the funds.
The agreement – which came after more than a day of talks at a summit in Brussels – offers Kyiv a desperately needed lifeline as US President Donald Trump pushes for a quick deal to end Russia’s war.
