- The MEP used the verb 'provided' (prestando), which suggests the loan has been fully disbursed. In reality, by the session date (17 June 2026), the €90 billion loan had been politically agreed and legally finalized, but disbursements were only beginning — the full amount is spread over 2026 and 2027.
- The loan is part of a broader EU financial support package; the EU had already provided approximately €43.3 billion in macro-financial assistance to Ukraine between 2022 and 2026, which this new €90 billion loan builds upon.
- The MEP did not cite any source for the figure, and the Council press release finalizing the loan was published on 23 April 2026 — less than two months before the session date, making it very recent and potentially not yet fully understood by the public.
