  "account": "The European Commission is proposing that the EU Council approve a final disbursement of EUR 45 billion from the EUR 90 billion loan to Ukraine, set to be distributed in 2027. This comes as part of the overall EUR 90 billion financial support pledged for Ukraine in 2026-2027. The Commission's press service announced this decision on Friday, marking another step in implementing the 2027 loan. President Ursula von der Leyen emphasized the importance of this measure, stating that it provides Ukraine with much-needed predictability and helps maintain essential public services. The Commission also highlighted the urgency of supporting Ukraine alongside allies to pressure Russia to cease its aggressive war. The remaining EUR 45 billion will be allocated to budget support, defense industrial capacity, and other areas, with strict conditions attached regarding the rule of law, anti-corruption efforts, economic stability, and sustainable development. The EU Council is expected to adopt this proposal soon, following which the European Commission will facilitate the disbursement of funds to Ukraine starting in 2027.",
