The Foreign Ministers of the European Union reached a political agreement this Monday to commit another 500 million euros to finance the arms purchase for Ukraineincreasing the bloc’s support for Kiev in the face of the Russian invasion to at least €2.5 billion in the five months that the war has already lasted.
This has been put forward by the President of the European Council, Charles Michel, in a message broadcast through his social networks to “celebrate the political agreement” of the Twenty-seven to a fifth tranche of aid to the government of Volodimir Zelensky to pay.
At the meeting of EU foreign ministers in Brussels, it was confirmed that there is the necessary “will and consensus” to maintain aid to Ukraine and therefore release the EUR 500 million, although the formal approval is not yet prepared because it requires additional parliamentary procedures in some member states, European sources have qualified Europa Press.
