(251219) -- BRUSSELS, Dec. 19, 2025 (Xinhua) -- German Chancellor Friedrich Merz enters the venue of a European Council summit in Brussels, Belgium, Dec. 18, 2025. The European Council on Friday approved a 90-billion-euro (about 105.4 billion U.S. dollars) loan package to support Ukraine's military and economic needs over the next two years.
According to a European Council statement, the loan will be financed through European Union borrowing on the capital markets and backed by the EU budget "headroom," the unused margin in the budget that can be mobilized as a guarantee to support EU borrowing. (Xinhua/Peng Ziyang)
