Hungary previously vetoed the measure and criticised the bloc’s military support for Ukraine.
All 27 European Union countries have agreed on an additional 50-billion-euro ($54bn) aid package for Ukraine, despite threats from Hungary to veto the move.
“We have a deal,” European Council President Charles Michel said in a post on X.
Michel said the move “locks in steadfast, long-term, predictable funding for Ukraine” and demonstrates that the “EU is taking leadership and responsibility in support for Ukraine; we know what is at stake“.
Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said: “It is very important that the decision was made by all 27 leaders, which once again proves strong EU unity.”
