The European Union has approved a €90 billion loan package for Ukraine after Hungary lifted its long-standing veto. In a related development, Ukraine has resumed the transit of Russian oil to Hungary via the Druzhba pipeline. The massive loan has drawn sharp criticism within Germany, with Sahra Wagenknecht, founder of the BSW party, denouncing it and accusing CDU leader Friedrich Merz of turning the German people into a 'cash cow' for Kiev.
