On 18 December 2025, the European Council agreed to a €90 billion loan to Ukraine to cover the country's financial needs in the years 2026 and 2027. The European Commission has subsequently presented three legislative proposals to implement the European Council's decision: (i) a proposal for a €90 billion Ukraine Support Loan financed by the EU except for Czechia, Hungary and Slovakia; (ii) a proposal to amend the Ukraine Facility to use it for the disbursement of the new loan; and (iii) a proposal to amend the EU's multiannual financial framework to use it as a guarantee for the loan, and to finance the grants used for the borrowing cost subsidy. The loan will be financed through EU borrowing on the capital markets backed by the EU budget's headroom. The EU budget will pay for the interest rates and other associated costs for Ukraine. While €30 billion of the loan are meant to support the Ukrainian budget, €60 billion will be used to strengthen Ukraine's defence capabilities. The Commission proposal stipulates that defence products financed from the loan should, in principle, originate from the EU, European Economic Area, European Free Trade Area and Ukraine. Only if products are not available there, or cannot be delivered fast enough, can products from other third countries be bought. In the past, Article 41(2) of the Treaty on European Union had been seen as an obstacle to financing weapons and military equipment from the EU budget. However, as the proposed Ukraine Support Loan is based on Article 212 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, the rules on the EU's common foreign and security policy do not apply.

A well-loved community cat in Everton Park was allegedly held down by a man who cut off patches of its fur with a pair of scissors. Closed-circuit television footage of the incident, which purportedly went on for six minutes, was posted on Sunday (Feb 8) on Instagram by @timmytheblackcat_, a page dedicated to the black cat named Timmy. In the video, a man dressed in a brown T-shirt and shorts is seen approaching Timmy wearing gloves and holding onto a pair scissors. The man then grabs Timmy — who was sitting in its usual sleeping spot — and pins it down, before he snips the cat's fur. The man continued to cut Timmy's fur despite the cat struggling to break free from his hold, the user captioned in the video. Timmy later leapt out of the spot to flee but the man chased after the feline. After dusting off his scissors, the man was seen turning back to chase after Timmy again but it ran away to hide in the drain. AsiaOne has reached out to @timmytheblackcat_ for more information. This is not the first time that Timmy has been harassed.

Responding to queries from MS News, Lee confirmed that it was him in the photo but said he was unsure of when it was taken, adding that he found the situation amusing.
