Macron: The 9 billion euro loan provided by the EU to Ukraine is intended to enable Kyiv to continue funding its military operations

French President Macron confirmed at a press conference after the European Council summit that the EU's 9 billion euro loan to Ukraine is intended to allow Kyiv to continue funding its military operations.

Previously, European Council President Antonio Costa announced that the EU would provide Ukraine with a 9 billion euro loan, which is based on the EU budget and may be repaid from Russian assets. Moscow has called the freezing of these assets an act of theft.

Macron said, "This plan has proven to be the most realistic and feasible, ensuring that Ukraine has the necessary funds to support its military operations from 2026 onwards."
