Speaking later, von der Leyen said she thought it would be possible to disburse the first tranche of the €45bn funding planned for 2026 in this quarter, meaning by the end of June. The first payment, she indicated, would fund Ukraine’s domestic drone production – “drones from Ukraine for Ukraine”.
Is it loan or donation ? Dont conflate
Direct from the EU:

Until then, it’s a donation.
Do you think , Russia will pay that money ?
No. But the EU holds over €200 billion of frozen Russian funds, which are immobilized indefinitely, until Russia pays for the damages. But I really don’t know how any of that shit works
Seems like a roundabout way of giving frozen Russian assets to Ukraine
