Von der Leyen: EU and US will continue to support Ukraine for as long as it takes

This was stated by the head of the European Commission Ursula von der Leyen.

According to her, according to TASS, the EU this year provides Ukraine with €18 billion.

“Our main message is that we will support Ukraine for as long as it takes,” von der Leyen said.

On March 8, the head of European Union diplomacy, Josep Borrell, said that the EU military mission would train more than 11,000 Ukrainian troops by the end of March and another 30,000 by the end of the year.

In addition, the European Council approved an increase of €2 billion in the budget of the European Peace Fund, which finances the supply of weapons to the Ukrainian army.
