EU Approves €6.6 Billion in Allocations for Ukraine, Kallas Says
EU foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas said the bloc has approved €6.6 billion for Ukraine, with €900 million earmarked for the EU's military assistance mission.
The European Union has approved the allocation of €6.6 billion for Ukraine, according to EU High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy Kaja Kallas.
Kallas said €900 million of that sum will go toward the European Union's Military Assistance Mission for Ukraine, which supports the training and coordination of assistance to Ukrainian forces.
The announcement reflects the EU's continued financial commitment to supporting Ukraine as the country deals with the consequences of Russia's ongoing invasion, with funding spanning both military and broader support channels.
Details on how the remainder of the €6.6 billion will be distributed beyond the military assistance mission were not specified in Kallas's announcement.
The allocation adds to the EU's broader package of financial and military support for Ukraine, which has been a recurring feature of the bloc's response to the conflict since it began.
