Details: Zelenskyy said the provision of these funds has been suspended.

Quote: "We are grateful for everything that has been given, but Ukraine must fight for this money at the very least."

Details: The Ukrainian president believes the shift in the US political landscape could improve Ukraine's prospects of securing additional support.

To achieve this, Kyiv needs to engage with the new balance of power in Congress and strengthen bipartisan support in Washington.

Background: On 5 November, Ukraine received €4.36 billion from the European Union under the Ukraine Support Loan: €3.7 billion was allocated for macro-financial assistance and €660 million to finance defence.
