Michel said that without EU help, Kyiv will defend itself with water pistols. He was stunned to listen to the proposals of far-left politicians who doubted the need to supply weapons to Kyiv.

Earlier, Michel said that the decision of the heads of state and government of the European Union to provide Kyiv with €50 billion over the next four years is a signal for the United States. On February 1, the EU summit had approved a long-term program of budget assistance to Ukraine worth €50billion.
