The European Union has given final approval to the €90 billion loan for Ukraine after Hungary lifted its veto, ending an explosive saga that saw Prime Minister Viktor Orbán, in his last months in office, push the bloc's internal norms to the breaking point.
The internal procedure was launched by ambassadors on Wednesday and finalised on Thursday. No objections were raised, and the last pending regulation, which needs unanimity to amend the EU budget, was approved.
