Ukraine gets massive funding win; also sinks Russian warship
Hello, my friends!
I wanted to send you the latest news about Ukraine, to update what I said in the podcast.
I had said in the podcast on Wednesday night that I thought the EU might approve a MASSIVE $50 billion aid package for Ukraine, and that’s happened. I’ll share the details below, as well as some other timely updates.

Russia and Ukraine news:
The E.U. agrees on a new $54 billion aid package for Ukraine despite Hungary’s veto threat
The leaders of the 27 European Union countries sealed a deal Thursday to provide Ukraine with a new 50-billion-euro ($54 billion) support package for its war-ravaged economy despite weeks of threats from Hungary to veto the move.
European Council President Charles Michel announced the agreement that was reached in the first hour of a summit he was chairing in Brussels.
“We have a deal,” Michel said in a post on X, formerly known as Twitter. He said the agreement “locks in steadfast, long-term, predictable funding for Ukraine,” and demonstrated that the “EU is taking leadership and responsibility in support for Ukraine; we know what is at stake.”
In other big news, Ukraine has sunk another Russian ship!
Here’s an article about it from the AP: Ukraine claims its sea drones sank a Russian warship
The footage released on GUR’s social media purports to show multiple naval drones crashing into a vessel and exploding. According to GUR, the ship costing $60 million-$70 million was on patrol on Lake Donuzlav in western Crimea, when a GUR special unit struck it. The lake has been more of a bay since 1961, when a channel connecting it to the Black Sea was dug out.
And here is video of that attack:
