European Union foreign ministers promised another 500 million euros in military aid to Ukraine’s war chest to beef up the defense of the nation as the bloc's foreign policy chief exhorted member states not to waver in their commitment to sanctions against Russia.
The aid decision came after a video debriefing on the latest developments by Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba, who said he was "grateful" for the new funds, which brings the EU total to 2.5 billion euros but still urged the 27 nations to provide more.
