The EU Commission paid Ukraine €3 billion on Friday as the first tranche of a loan from the G7 states: „We must give Ukraine the financial strength to continue fighting for its freedom – and to win,“ Ursula von der Leyen is quoted in the press release. Europe has supported Ukraine with almost €134 billion so far, and there will be more to come. Just like the Ukrainian resistance, Europe’s support will be unwavering. The disbursement is also an important signal shortly before Donald Trump takes office.
