The EU's €90 billion loan to Ukraine is set to begin disbursement in mid-June, primarily aimed at bolstering the country's defense against Russian aggression. While a significant portion is expected to fund military capabilities, the specifics of the spending remain unclear, with EU regulations emphasizing the purchase of European-made products. As Ukraine navigates these financial and logistical challenges, the effectiveness of the loan in enhancing its defense capabilities will depend on compliance with EU guidelines and the responsiveness of the European defense industry.
