An EU spokesperson said the European Union has approved another €6.1 billion in support for Ukraine, specifically for defence purposes.
The announcement came as Ukraine marked the 35th anniversary of its independence, a moment of national resilience during Russia’s ongoing war.
The spokesperson said the new approval should be seen in the context of the defence funding gap repeatedly highlighted by President Volodymyr Zelenskyy.
The statement also comes amid wider discussions on EU budget support, defence financing and the proposed €90 billion support loan for Ukraine.
The EU message was clear: Ukraine’s defence needs remain urgent, and Europe is continuing to mobilise financial support to help Ukraine defend its independence, sovereignty and security.
