BBC World Service - BBC OS, EU deal over Ukraine aid package

European leaders have agreed a $54bn deal for Ukraine

European leaders have agreed a $54bn deal for Ukraine.

Ukraine has been handed a lifeline by the European Union whose leaders have overcome objections from Hungary to agree a $54bn aid package. We explain the significance of the deal and find out about the reaction in Ukraine. 

Hundreds of farmers from across Europe are continuing to protest against rising costs and EU regulations outside the summit in Brussels. We hear from some of the farmers about their demands. 

The Egyptian government has started a three-year project to cover one of the ancient pyramids with granite blocks and restore it to what it says was its ‘original’ state. Our correspondent in Cairo explains. 

We bring together three Russian artists to share what it is like to live and work in Russia at the moment. 

And we speak to BBC Sport about reports that Lewis Hamilton is poised for a shock move from Mercedes to Ferrari for the 2025 season.

Presenter: James Reynolds.
