EU rejects Ukraine's request to speed up loan payouts
Original: The European Union has rejected for now Ukraine’s entreaties to speed up loan payouts to cover an unexpected shortfall i
The European Union has declined, for now, Ukraine's request to accelerate loan payments intended to cover an unexpected shortfall in the country's military financing this year, according to people familiar with the matter. The decision leaves Kyiv facing a funding gap for its defence needs as the war with Russia continues, raising questions about how Ukraine will make up the difference and whether the EU will reconsider its position in coming months.
Why now: Ukraine's military funding shortfall is urgent and the EU's refusal raises concerns about Western support for Kyiv's war effort.
