High Representative Kaja Kallas has pitched an ambitious plan to mobilise up to €40 billion in fresh military support for Ukraine, which, if achieved, would represent a twofold increase from the defence assistance the European Union provided last year.
The plan, already nicknamed "the Kallas initiative" in Brussels, seeks to fulfill Ukraine's priority needs to fight Russia's war of aggression, with special emphasis on artillery ammunition, air defence systems, missiles, drones and fighter jets.
