EU Releases €6.6 Billion in Ukraine Aid as Finland Seeks Starlink Expansion

The EU has approved the release of €6.6 billion in long-stalled aid for Ukraine, with EU foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas confirming the allocation. The decision came as Finnish President Alexander Stubb urged Elon Musk to expand Starlink internet access for Ukraine, and Poland confirmed the arson of a ground gateway providing Starlink internet to the country. Meanwhile, ArcelorMittal dropped plans to restart Ukrainian operations after missile strikes, and Russia targeted Ukraine's data centres. UK firms will use Ukraine battlefield data to develop AI drone swarms.
