This is today’s absolutely best news:
With Orbán out of power, the EUR 90 billion loan to Ukraine was unblocked today, securing the Ukrainian economy until the end of 2027 — both the military budget and state finances.
In US currency that is $105 billion (with a B).
The Trump regime has so far donated $0. And while Trump is lifting oil sanctions on Russia, the EU is now sanctioning Russia further.

Analysis Summary
The EU unblocked a €90 billion ($105 billion) loan to Ukraine on April 22, 2026 after Viktor Orbán's election defeat allowed Hungary to lift its veto on the funding. The loan covers two-thirds of Ukraine's financing needs through 2027—€28 billion for military spending and €17 billion for general budget support each year. The post's claim about US aid is unverifiable and the assertion about Trump lifting Russian oil sanctions contradicts no source but finds no corroboration either; these are framed as fact without evidence. The EU simultaneously approved new sanctions on Russia targeting maritime, energy, and financial sectors.
