Key numbers: EU's €90bn loan to Ukraine; funding needed for 2027; two negotiating clusters to open before end of year. Why it matters: Leaders pressed for continued financial and military support through winter, warned Ukraine is running out of funds, and discussed frozen Russian assets and outreach to the US.
