EU leaders will tackle Ukraine financing at summit, Costa assures Merz

​European Council ​President Antonio Costa ‌assured Chancellor ​Friedrich Merz on Tuesday that EU ‌leaders would address Ukraine's financing needs at a summit this month after ‌the German leader linked the ‌issue to talks on the bloc's long-term budget. "We will address this issue ⁠in ​the ⁠Special European Council on 26-27 November, which ⁠has two items on the agenda: ​the next MFF (the EU's Multiannual Financial ⁠Framework) and Ukraine's financing needs for 2027," ⁠Costa ​said in a reply to a letter from Merz, ⁠seen by Reuters.

"Until then, we will ⁠receive ⁠a proposal from the Commission on the latter."
