A support package regarding offensive and non-offensive aid for the Ukrainian army has been adopted in Brussels. This is an unprecedented decision that could have a decisive impact on the course of the war.
– For the first time in history, we will be doing this, and everyone agrees to this support. I want to thank Poland, which has agreed to be a logistics hub for the transfer of this aid to the territory of Ukraine – informed Josep Borrell, the head of European Union diplomacy, on Sunday.
Defense ministers are scheduled to meet today (Monday) to determine the details regarding the coordination of work and to develop a strategy for transferring materials to the front line for the Ukrainian armed forces fighting against the Russian invasion.
– The military equipment that the European Union has agreed to purchase for Ukraine will be transferred through Poland. The EU will spend 450 million euros on it – says Josep Borrell. – We have also decided to provide an additional 50 million for defensive equipment. The funds are to come from a joint fund.
