The Kyiv Independent reports that the EU plans a new 45 billion euro loan for Kyiv in 2027, announced by Valdis Dombrovskis and confirmed by diplomats, on top of the 45 billion euros Ukraine is set to receive from a 90 billion euro loan assembled in April 2026, as Kyiv faces a projected 70 billion euro shortfall in 2027, with diplomats expecting Czechia, Hungary, Slovakia, and now Bulgaria to opt out. The roundup also covers Zelensky seeking India's help in peace efforts, Ukrainian strikes on a Russian jamming station and the Morozov missile-fuel plant, an IMF mission that could unlock $1.67 billion, and the Coalition of the Willing's first post-war deployment exercise in Poland.
