The agreement to release €6.6 billion from the European Peace Facility for Ukraine is excellent news.
It means more support for Ukraine’s defence, from training to equipment.
It complements what we are doing through our Ukraine support packages – for the state and for defence.
And more is coming from our side.
Very soon.
EU Member States have agreed on the terms for releasing €6.6 billion European Peace Facility funds for Ukraine.
That’s good news for Ukraine and bad news for Russia.
€900 million are for the EU’s Military Assistance Mission for Ukraine. €1 billion will fund new joint procurement of equipment. And €4.7 billion will reimburse Member States, with some already saying they will channel their share to Ukraine.
Moscow’s hybrid attacks try to intimidate Europe into scaling back its support for Ukraine. Europe is doing the opposite.
