EU Agrees to 50B Euro Package for Ukraine; Zelensky to Dismiss Top General

HeadlineFeb 02, 2024

European Union leaders have approved a new 50-billion-euro funding package to Ukraine, overcoming weeks of resistance from Hungary’s Prime Minister Viktor Orbán. This comes as the U.S. Senate is expected to vote on a Ukraine military aid and U.S.-Mexico border enforcement deal next week following heated negotiations.

In Ukraine, President Volodymyr Zelensky is reportedly set to dismiss his top general, Valery Zaluzhny. Tensions between the two have been rising following Ukraine’s failed counteroffensive last year, and after Zaluzhny described the war with Russia as a stalemate.
