At an EU leaders’ summit in Brussels, Czech Prime Minister Andrej Babis objected to billions of euros in support for Ukraine being included in the bloc’s next seven-year budget, questioning the plan to borrow the money. He said Czechia would not guarantee it. The proposed amount was cut from an initial €100 billion to €89 billion in successive compromise drafts.
