European Union leaders are convening in Cyprus to finalize a significant €90 billion loan for Ukraine and approve a 20th sanctions package against Russia. This decision comes after a political agreement was reached, ending a four-month delay largely attributed to Hungary's Prime Minister Viktor Orbán. Reports indicate that Hungary and Slovakia will no longer block these measures, contingent upon the resumption of Russian oil deliveries through the Druzhba pipeline, which Slovakia confirmed has restarted overnight. Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelenskyy is expected to be present at the summit, marking this important milestone. Notably, Orbán will not attend, losing his title as the longest-serving member of the European Council to Poland's Donald Tusk. The meeting will also address other regional issues, including developments in the Middle East.
