- The claim incorrectly states that all €90 billion is for 'Ukraine's defence' when in fact only €60 billion is allocated for defence and military purposes. The remaining €30 billion is for budgetary support, not defence.
- Omissions
- The €90 billion figure refers to the total loan package, not solely defence funding. Only €60 billion (two-thirds) is allocated for defence purposes and military equipment procurement. The remaining €30 billion is for budgetary/financial support.
- The funding was approved by the European Parliament on 6 February 2026 and by the Council on 4 February 2026, which the MEP could have cited as sources.
