EU's budget draft reduces Ukraine's financial support from 100 billion to 89 billion euros for 2028-2034, raising concerns about funding gaps if the war continues, with final numbers still uncertain

• EU's latest budget draft proposes 89 billion euros for Ukraine from 2028-2034, down from 100 billion euros originally proposed

• Final Ukraine support amount remains uncertain, with officials suggesting it could fall further to 80 billion or even 60 billion euros
