EU leaders will welcome Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky on Thursday in Cyprus to celebrate the release of a 90-billion-euro ($105 billion) loan for Kyiv after a prolonged deadlock. Preliminary approval for the badly needed money came on Wednesday but a definitive sign-off is expected by Thursday, before European Union leaders hold talks with Zelensky in Cyprus’s Ayia Napa marina. The funds were blocked after a bitter row broke out between Hungary’s nationalist premier Viktor Orban and Zelensky.
