European Union Foreign Policy Chief Kaja Kallas said on Friday that member states “agreed on the terms for releasing pound 6.6 billion from the European Peace Facility for Ukraine.”
According to Kallas, pound 900 million will go toward the EU’s military training mission for Ukraine, while pound 1 billion will fund new joint purchases of military equipment.
The remaining pound 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,” Kallas said. She also stated that this is “good news for Ukraine and bad news for Russia.”
