EU to Provide Ukraine €1.5 Bln Monthly

The European Union has pledged to provide Ukraine with €1.5 billion every month starting from January 2025, as part of its continued support for the war-torn nation.

This announcement was made by EU foreign policy chief, Josep Borrell, during a press briefing following a meeting of the European Union's foreign ministers.

The new financial package aims to help Ukraine maintain its defense efforts against Russia's invasion and support its ongoing economic and military needs.

According to Borrell, this new initiative will be critical for Ukraine’s resilience in the face of continued Russian aggression.

In addition to the financial support, the European Union is committed to training 75,000 Ukrainian soldiers by the end of the winter.

This measure is part of the EU’s broader strategy to bolster Ukraine’s military capabilities and ensure its readiness for any challenges ahead.

The EU has consistently reaffirmed its commitment to Ukraine, with foreign ministers highlighting the importance of strengthening Ukraine’s position in future negotiations with Russia.

Borrell emphasized that ensuring a strong Ukrainian stance in diplomatic talks remains a top priority for the Union.

Ukraine’s Foreign Minister, Andriy Sybiha, participated remotely in the meeting, as usual, providing updates on the difficult situation at the front lines and informing the ministers about Kyiv's current needs for military and humanitarian aid.
