Kyiv has said the move was a &#8220;powerful and timely demonstration of European unity.&#8221; European Union member states agreed Wednesday to provide Ukraine with an additional \u20ac5 billion ($5.5 billion) in military aid.<\/p>\n<p>Belgium, which holds the EU&#8217;s rotating presidency, said ambassadors from the bloc&#8217;s 27 nations had agreed &#8220;in principle&#8221; on the plan to support arms supplies to Kyiv in 2024. The contribution of \u20ac5 billion will go on EU-managed fund called the European Peace Facility. The fund operates as a giant cashback scheme, giving EU members refunds for sending munitions to other countries. Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba called it a &#8220;powerful and timely demonstration of European unity.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The EU has already committed \u20ac6.1 billion from the fund to reimburse part of the cost of arms sent by member states to Ukraine since the Russian invasion. The decision to boost the fund was delayed for months amid wrangling between states over how it should operate. Germany demanded offsetting bilateral support for Ukraine against its contribution, while France demanded only weapons produced in Europe should be reimbursed.<\/p>\n<p>Diplomats have reached a compromise that allows for some flexibility on &#8220;buy European&#8221; rules and considers bilateral aid value in calculating financial contributions of members. &#8220;The message is clear: we will support Ukraine with whatever it takes to prevail,&#8221; EU foreign policy chief Josep Borrell wroted on X, formerly Twitter.<\/p>\n<p>The boost in military funding from Europe comes as $60 billion in military aid from the United States is being blocked by Congressional deadlock. The EU decision on Wednesday comes a day after the White House announced a fresh $300 million weapons package for Ukraine as a stopgap measure on Tuesday. Some of the money in the European Peace Facility will be used to help finance a Czech initiative to buy hundreds of thousands of desperately needed artillery shells from countries outside Europe.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.dw.com\/en\/eu-agrees-to-5-billion-boost-in-military-aid-for-ukraine\/a-68515348\">DW<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/vauen\/eu-agrees-to-e5-billion-boost-in-ukraine-military-aid\/\">EU agrees to \u20ac5 billion boost in Ukraine military aid<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\">Vastuullisuusuutiset.fi<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[274,12750,559,606,607,608],"class_list":["post-128919","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-eu","tag-military-aid","tag-ukraine","tag-vau_viikkokatsaus","tag-vauen","tag-vaufien"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/128919","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=128919"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/128919\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=128919"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=128919"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=128919"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
