With the help of Kiev, Estonia hopes to move forward quickly, Magyar says, as the EU is at war

EU Aims for Swift Action on Ukraine Support Following Election Results

The European Union is prioritizing the swift approval of a €90 billion loan package for Ukraine and the implementation of the previously stalled 20th sanctions package against Russia. This push follows recent developments, including the outcome of the Hungarian parliamentary elections. Cyprus, currently holding the EU presidency, stated today that securing these measures is a key objective.

“Our goal as the presidency is to complete the €90 billion loan package to Ukraine as soon as possible and adopt the blocked 20th package of sanctions against Russia,” the statement read, according to European Pravda. The substantial financial support is intended to bolster Ukraine’s defense capabilities and economic stability amidst ongoing conflict. The 20th sanctions package, which has faced opposition, aims to further restrict Russia’s access to resources and technologies.

EU officials indicated a renewed impetus to achieve consensus and expedite the process. The election results in Hungary, which saw Viktor Orban’s power diminished, are believed to have created a more favorable environment for moving forward with these critical initiatives. The EU hopes to demonstrate continued unity and support for Ukraine.
