The European Union has formally approved a €90 billion ($105 billion) emergency loan for Ukraine for 2026-2027 and adopted its 20th package of sanctions against Russia, the bloc's presidency said on Thursday.
European Council President Antonio Costa said in a statement that increasing pressure on Russia was part of a strategy "to achieve a just and lasting peace in Ukraine."
