The EU General Court ruled it lacked jurisdiction over Hungary's legal challenge to the European Peace Facility, the mechanism through which Ukraine receives up to €5 billion annually, according to Reuters.

Separately, the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe's legal committee proposed a mechanism to transfer frozen Russian state assets to Ukraine as compensation for violations found in rulings by the European Court of Human Rights, adding a new avenue for using frozen Russian funds to support Ukraine amid ongoing legal and political disputes over the assets.
