EU chiefs assure Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy they have the tools to unblock the funds.
The EU will deliver on its promise to give Ukraine a much-needed €90 billion loan, despite Hungary attempting to derail the effort at the last minute, top officials said on Tuesday.
Speaking in Kyiv with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen and European Council chief António Costa both insisted that the loan would go ahead soon.
“We will deliver on our word one way or the other,” von der Leyen told reporters. “Let me be clear. We have different options and we will use them.”
Look, by the time you’re resorting to asking about dissolving and reconstituting the EU as a mechanism, I’m going to boldly suggest that you aren’t going to find anything the army of career civil servants navigating this crisis first-hand haven’t already considered.
Edit: Just saying, though, that we could go with The Onion’s idea.
