“The mobilization of an additional €500 million by EU member states is yet another proof that we remain steadfast in our support to the Ukrainian armed forces to defend the country against the escalating illegal aggression. Russia’s latest indiscriminate attacks on Ukrainian civilians and civilian infrastructure are another proof of Russia’s complete disrespect for human rights and international law. The EU will continue supporting Ukraine as long as it takes and as long as is needed,” Josep Borrell said.
Thus, the total contribution of the EU within the framework of the European Peace Fund (EPF) for Ukraine is already 3.1 billion euros.
It is noted that the amount of assistance to be provided in the new package corresponds to the current priorities set by the Ukrainian government.
