Milan, 19 Dec. (LaPresse) – ‘Economic stability is a prerequisite for security, both for Ukraine and for Europe.’ This was written by Ukrainian Prime Minister Yulia Svyrydenko in X, commenting on the agreement reached overnight by the European Council in Brussels. ‘The European Council's decision to allocate €90 billion to Ukraine for the period 2026-2027 is a decisive step towards economic resilience and fiscal stability in wartime,’ Svyrydenko wrote in a post on X. ‘This support ensures the predictability of Ukraine's public finances, supports defence and essential state functions, and strengthens trust among international partners,’ she continued, stressing that ‘Russia's aggression comes at a financial cost.’ ‘Russian sovereign assets remain frozen and work continues on a loan for compensation, in line with EU and international law,’ she concluded.
