- The funding was agreed by EU leaders in December 2025 for the 2026-2027 period

- The claim omits that this is a loan to Ukraine secured against EU borrowing, not a direct military expenditure
- The European Parliament had not yet approved the package at the time of the claim (approved February 6, 2026)
