EU agrees extra 500 mn euros to arm Ukraine: diplomats
Kyiv pleads for heavier weapons
23 January, 17:26
(ANSA-AFP) - BRUSSELS, JAN 23 - EU foreign ministers agreed
Monday to use an additional 500 million euros ($540 million)
from their common coffers on arms for Ukraine, diplomats said,
as Kyiv pleads for heavier weapons. The accord will take the
overall amount committed to supplying Ukraine's military from
the bloc's common spending to 3.6 billion euros, which is
separate from national spending by individual EU member states.
