On Thursday, the European Union (EU) leaders announced that they have allocated more than $50 billion in aid for Ukraine, signaling their unwavering support for the country amidst ongoing tensions with Russia. This move comes as the EU managed to secure the agreement of Hungary, whose Prime Minister Viktor Orban had been delaying the funding for weeks.
With the funding finally unlocked, EU leaders are now calling on the United States to do its part in assisting Ukraine. The U.S. Senate is set to vote on a separate $60 billion aid package for Ukraine next week, which has been stalled in Congress. The EU's actions are seen as a plea to Washington to take immediate action.
