## Resource

Ukraine just secured a massive 90 billion euro EU loan to fuel its defense, pushing its annual budget to a record 4.4 trillion hryvnias—nearly 97 billion dollars—amid ongoing war with Russia. President Zelenskyy is boosting morale and recruitment by raising military pay and targeting foreign fighters, with new pay systems set to launch by June. Meanwhile, the EU has officially begun membership talks with Ukraine, a top priority for Zelenskyy, while Britain enforces a full ban on Russian-made fuel by 2027, ending a temporary oil import license.
