The European Union has announced a package of another 500 million euros ($520m) for Ukraine to buy heavy weapons in its fight against Russia, the bloc’s foreign affairs chief has said at a gathering of Group of Seven nations in Germany.
“We [EU] will provide a new tranche of 500 more million euros to support the military of Ukraine. It will make about two billion euros in total,” Josep Borrell told reporters on Friday in Weissenhaus, on Germany’s Baltic Sea coast.
