The European Union has already allocated nearly 50 billion euros in military, financial, economic and humanitarian aid to Ukraine, an additional 500 million euros in military aid has been approved, and the Union states intend to continue supporting Kiev, EU diplomacy chief Josep Borrel said.
“I can tell you that we will continue our support for Ukraine,” the EU high representative for foreign affairs said at the end of an EU Foreign Affairs Council meeting Monday in Brussels at which member state ministers discussed aid for the Ukrainian armed forces.
“Today we reached a political agreement on the seventh tranche of military assistance for an additional 500 million euros and another 45 million for measures to enable Ukrainian soldiers to receive training as part of our military support mission,” Borrell continued.
The European diplomacy chief noted preparations for an EU-Ukraine summit on February 3, “the first summit since Ukraine received candidate status” for EU membership.
