Today, the 🇪🇺 Parliament has approved a €90bn loan for #Ukraine.

This will ensure that essential public services can continue, while Ukraine’s defence remains strong.

The protection of Ukraine is the protection of Europe.
I welcome the @Europarl_EN speedy adoption of our proposal for an additional €90 billion loan for Ukraine.

Ukraine's courage is unshakable.

And so is Europe's resolve to stand by its side.

Today and tomorrow!

Because a strong Ukraine makes all of Europe safer.
