EU foreign ministers agree on five billion euros in military aid for Ukraine. The decision is intended to guarantee support services such as the delivery of weapons and ammunition.
The EU is supporting Ukraine in its self-defense in the Russian war of aggression, explained EU Foreign Affairs Representative Josep Borrell. Germany had previously argued that bilateral aid could often be provided more quickly and efficiently. But in view of tight budgets, Chancellor Olaf Scholz urged that bilateral German military aid be taken into account. According to Berlin information, it will amount to more than seven billion euros.
