The issue<\/span> of providing<\/span> Ukraine<\/span> with a<\/span> 90<\/span> billion<\/span> euro<\/span> European<\/span> Union<\/span> loan<\/span> may<\/span> be resolved<\/span> in the coming<\/span> days –<\/span> before<\/span> the European<\/span> Council<\/span> meeting<\/span> on<\/span> March 19-20<\/span> .<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

This<\/span> was<\/span> reported<\/a> by a spokeswoman<\/span> for the European Commission.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

According<\/span> to<\/span> the European Commission’s<\/span> chief<\/span> spokeswoman<\/span> ,<\/span> Paula<\/span> Pinho,<\/span> negotiations<\/span> are ongoing<\/span> and<\/span> the parties<\/span> expect<\/span> progress<\/span> in<\/span> the near<\/span> future.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

“We<\/span> hope<\/span> and<\/span> are confident<\/span> that<\/span> we will soon<\/span> see<\/span> some<\/span> progress<\/span> in<\/span> these<\/span> negotiations.<\/span> Ideally<\/span> ,<\/span> this<\/span> should<\/span> happen<\/span> before<\/span> the<\/span> European<\/span> Council meeting<\/span> ,”<\/span> she said<\/span> .<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The<\/span> European Commission<\/span> notes<\/span> that<\/span> the positive<\/span> signal<\/span> came<\/span> after<\/span> Ukraine<\/span> agreed<\/span> to<\/span> accept<\/span> EU<\/span> technical<\/span> and<\/span> financial<\/span> assistance<\/span> for<\/span> the repair<\/span> of<\/span> the Druzhba<\/span> oil pipeline<\/span> .<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Pinho<\/span> clarified<\/span> that<\/span> the European Union<\/span> is ready<\/span> to send<\/span> an expert<\/span> to<\/span> Ukraine<\/span> who<\/span> will check<\/span> the implementation<\/span> of<\/span> the pipeline<\/span> restoration<\/span> work<\/span> and<\/span> help<\/span> restore<\/span> oil supplies<\/span> .<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

It is expected<\/span> that<\/span> the loan<\/span> issue<\/span> may<\/span> be considered<\/span> during<\/span> the<\/span> European<\/span> Council<\/span> meeting<\/span> scheduled<\/span> for<\/span> March<\/span> 19-20<\/span> .<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

It was previously reported that a Hungarian delegation led by State Secretary of the Ministry of Energy Gabor \u010cepek left for Ukraine<\/a> , where it plans to hold negotiations on the restoration of the Druzhba oil pipeline and inspect its condition.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

As a reminder, Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban is ready to unblock an EU loan for Ukraine of 90 billion euros<\/a> if the European Commission approves Budapest’s application for a defense loan of 16 billion euros under the SAFE instrument.<\/p>\n
