The EU supported the use of income from Russian assets to support Kyiv. The head of the European Parliament refused to tell reporters about the Hungarian conditions that Budapest put forward in exchange for its vote for providing a €50 billion aid package to Ukraine.

Earlier, the European Council, Charles Michel, said that the EU summit approved a long-term program of budget assistance to Ukraine worth €50billion. The statement, which was adopted as a result of the summit, states that in order to partially finance the budget assistance program for Ukraine in the period from 2024 to 2027, potential revenues could be generated.
