Snippet: After more than 16 hours of negotiations, EU leaders left Brussels on Friday with a deal they had promised to deliver: a €90 billion ($105 billion) loan to Ukraine to cover much of Kyiv's financing needs for 2026 and 2027. For a country warning of severe budgetary shortfalls — brought on by the ongoing war — as early as next spring, the agreement provides a crucial lifeline.
