The European Union will provide Ukraine with the third tranche of € 500 million in military aid. Thus, the total amount of EU military aid has already increased to € 1.5 billion.
According to EU High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy Josep Borrell on 13 April, the aid is being extended for one year.
– With these new additional € 500 million, the EU has allocated a total of € 1.5 billion to support the supply of military equipment to the Armed Forces of Ukraine by EU member states. The coming weeks will be crucial … It is extremely important that we continue and increase our military support for Ukraine to protect its territory and population, – said Josep Borrell.
