> A European Commission letter says Ukraine could unlock more than €20 billion in EU funding by the end of 2026 if the Verkhovna Rada passes planned reforms. The warning comes as blocked legislation coincides with a $27 billion hole in the 2026 budget. Parliament has since advanced a bill on tax exemptions for packages.
