The European Union has approved financial assistance to Ukraine amounting to 50 billion euros. This was reported by the BBC.
"The President of the European Council, Charles Michel, announced that the 27 EU countries have agreed to provide financial assistance to Ukraine in the amount of 50 billion euros", - the statement said.
