Council finalises €90 billion support loan to Ukraine
23 April 2026 Press release
The Council today approved conclusions on advancing the EU’s capacity to counter hybrid threats, reaffirming the EU’s determination to use all available tools to prevent, deter and respond to hybrid campaigns targeting the Union, its member states, and its partners irrespective of their origin, scale and intensity.
In the conclusions, the Council condemns persistent hybrid activities by state and non-state actors aimed at undermining the security and stability of the EU, its member states and its partners. In this regard, it strongly denounces sabotage, including against critical infrastructure, malicious cyber activities, foreign information manipulation and interference, election interference, and the instrumentalisation of migration.
"Hybrid threats are increasingly used to test our resilience and undermine our democratic institutions. With these conclusions, the EU sends a clear message: we will act together to further strengthen our preparedness, protect our societies and respond firmly to those who seek to destabilise us."
