The day's dominant story was the EU's final approval of a €90 billion loan for Ukraine and a 20th sanctions package against Russia, after Hungary and Slovakia dropped their veto. This was covered across multiple sources from morning to evening, with President Zelensky stating Ukraine will not repay the loan and expects the first tranche by late May or early June. Meanwhile, Prince Harry's unannounced visit to Kyiv drew attention, as he addressed Putin from the capital. The aftermath of the Russian strike on Dnipro continued to develop, with the death toll rising to three and ten wounded. Other notable stories included Budanov's comments on mobilization reform, drone strikes on Russian oil infrastructure, and discussions on police reform after the Kyiv terror attack.
