With the latest tranche of funding, the total amount of military aid provided to Ukraine since Russia launched a full-scale war against it in February has reached 2.5 billion euros.
EU member states are also supplying Ukraine with arms as part of a bilateral effort, independent of the bloc.
CONTEXT:
On February 24, Russian President Vladimir Putin ordered to start invasion of Russian troops in Ukraine. Putin claimed that NATO was going to use Ukraine as a springboard for aggression against Russia, although there was no evidence for these claims. Ukraine believes that Putin’s real goal is to destroy Ukrainian statehood and bring the territory under Moscow’s control.
