President of the European Commission Ursula von der Leyen says that the European Union and its member states have provided EUR 145 billion in assistance to Ukraine.
“The European Union and its member states have supported Ukraine with 145 billion euros. This is more than anyone else has helped,” von der Leyen said during the Support Ukraine plenary session in Kyiv on Monday.
According to her, the EU has helped Ukraine cover the country’s budget deficit for the entire year 2025.
“In parallel, we must immediately provide weapons and armaments. And this will be at the center of our work over the next few weeks,” the European Commission President emphasized.
She also emphasized that Europe will strengthen Ukraine “at this critical moment”.
“I can announce that a new payment of 3.5 billion euros to Ukraine will be received in March,” von der Leyen said.
