The European Union has agreed to provide Ukraine with €90 billion in new funding. German Chancellor Friedrich Merz announced the deal on Friday.
He stated the massive aid package sends a "clear signal" to Russian President Vladimir Putin. The message is that the EU remains united in supporting Kyiv.
The funding is intended to help Ukraine's government maintain basic services. This includes paying salaries and funding pensions amid the ongoing war.
The agreement comes after weeks of negotiations between EU member states. The bloc is ensuring stable financial support for Ukraine through 2027.
This long-term commitment is separate from military aid. It aims to stabilize the Ukrainian economy as the conflict continues.
