EU Has Given Ukrainian Military Aid €27 Billion: Borrell

 The EU has authorized at least €27 billion in direct military assistance to Ukraine since last year, the bloc’s foreign policy chief, Josep Borrell, said, touting the aid as the “highest figure ever reached.”

Speaking to reporters ahead of an EU meeting in Brussels on Monday, Borrell outlined the agenda for the event, stressing that even with renewed violence in the Middle East, member states should not “forget about Ukraine,” RT reported.

“Our support is increasing. I can tell you that it has reached the level of €27 billion of military support,” he said, adding, “It is the highest figure ever reached. We continue training Ukrainian soldiers. We continue being behind Ukraine.”
