The European Commission intends to agree on a plan to cover Ukraine's budget deficit for 2027 in the amount of 70 billion euros by the end of the year, Politico reports. The prepared document with funding options will be discussed by EU leaders at an extraordinary summit in Brussels on November 26. According to the publication, the list of possible measures is unlikely to include the use of frozen Russian assets due to the position of Belgium, which fears retaliatory measures from Moscow.
