EU to double military aid to Ukraine

The EU has an opportunity to significantly increase military support to Ukraine by purchasing arms directly from Ukrainian manufacturers.

EU Commissioner for Defense and Space Andrius Kubilius said that the USA and the EU now allocate about 40 billion euros annually for military aid to Ukraine. These funds could be used more effectively by investing them in the purchase of weapons directly from Ukrainian manufacturers.

“If Trump does not convince Putin to make peace, we could make a more convincing case for peace very quickly - by significantly increasing our military support for Ukraine,” Kubilius said.

The cost of weapons produced in Ukraine is about half the cost of similar weapons from the EU or the US. Thus, the amount of weapons provided to Ukraine can actually be doubled without increasing costs.

“The real value of our support will increase to 80 billion euros,” he said.

Kubilius paid special attention to a new instrument - EU safe loans, which allow member states to finance military purchases for Ukraine. This, in his opinion, opens the way to the realization of the strategy of “peace through strength”.

“Security credits are strength for Ukraine!”, - the official emphasized.
