The EU is increasing military aid to Ukraine to €3.1 billion

"While Dmytro Kuleba addresses the Foreign Affairs Council from a bomb shelter, we raise EU military assistance to €3.1 billion & launch the EU military training mission for Ukraine," wrote Josep Borrell, High Representative of the EU for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy.

The new tranche amounts to €500 million. 490 million will go to military equipment, and 10 million to the provision of equipment and supplies, including personal protective equipment, first aid kits, and fuel.
