Yesterday, Russia again carried out barbaric attacks against Ukraine. We cannot stop the President of Russia, Vladimir Putin, with words alone, we need to increase our military support. Today I called EU Foreign and Defense Ministers ahead of the FAC meeting on 22 April. We need to speed up and expand our military aid to Ukraine, the head of foreign policy of the European Union (EU), Josep Borrell, wrote on Thursday, News.bg reported.
We need to provide Ukraine with air defense systems to intercept Russian missiles, protect cities and critical infrastructure. Donations will make the difference between life and death, he added.
We already do a lot. We have €31 billion in military aid to Ukraine and we are supporting our defense industry to increase production of missiles and munitions in Europe. But we must do even more.
We need to enable Ukraine’s defense industry. The Ukraine Assistance Fund will be instrumental in securing, producing and supplying ammunition. I proposed to the Ukrainian government to host the Ukrainian Defense Industry Forum in May.
Ammunition shortages and attacks on critical infrastructure are two of the main problems facing Kiev.
I expect bold decisions at the meeting of EU foreign affairs and defense ministers on April 22 with Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba and Defense Minister Rustem Umerov.
The EU will support Ukraine with everything necessary, assures Borel.
