For months, EU members have struggled over how they want to finance further military aid to Ukraine. Now a decision has been made.
After months of negotiations, the EU states have agreed to continue joint financing of military equipment for Ukraine. According to the agreement reached in Brussels on Wednesday, the move is intended to guarantee the supply of weapons, ammunition and other goods worth at least five billion euros. This emerges from information from the current Belgian EU Council Presidency.
Ukraine has been defending itself against Russia’s war of aggression for more than two years. Western allies are supporting it with financial and military aid. The sum that the EU countries have now agreed on comes from the EU aid fund. According to the information, the representatives of the 27 EU member states had previously agreed on the revision of the fund in Brussels.
