Ukraine loan will happen 'one way or the other', says von der Leyen

The European Union's €90 billion loan for Ukraine will happen "one way or another", Ursula von der Leyen has said in a visit to Kyiv that was largely overshadowed by Hungary's last-minute decision to veto the financial programme.

"This word cannot be broken," the president of the European Commission said on Tuesday, referring to the agreement reached by the 27 EU leaders in December.
