The European Union approved a €90 billion interest-free loan to Ukraine and its 20th sanctions package against Russia on April 22, 2026, after Hungary and Slovakia dropped vetoes tied to the Druzhba oil pipeline dispute. The package marks the largest single EU financial commitment to Ukraine since the 2022 invasion and extends sanctions to over 2,600 Russian-linked individuals and entities, though significant enforcement gaps — particularly in energy and maritime sectors — remain.
