European Council President Charles Michel says the 27 EU countries have sealed a deal on aid to Ukraine, just over an hour into a summit of the bloc’s leaders and despite threats from Hungary to veto the move.

Key talks had been taking place in Brussels in recent days after Hungary vetoed the previously agreed deal in December.
