The European Commission is defending the adequacy of the EU's €90 billion support loan for Ukraine, even as Russia's intensified military campaign raises serious questions about whether the funds will last until the end of 2027 as originally planned. Brussels intends to disburse €45 billion this year and another €45 billion next year, with €3.2 billion in budgetary aid and €8.35 billion in military aid already paid out. Commission spokesperson Paula Pinho stated that the disbursement plan remains ambitious and linked to Ukraine's reform progress, but acknowledged the current focus is on executing the existing plan.
