EU approves further €6.1 billion for Ukraine's defense

The European Commission on Monday approved a further €6.1 billion ($7.12 billion) in financial aid for Ukraine to procure new defense systems, such as air defense, missiles, ammunition and radars.

The ⁠EU said this latest aid package came on top of €16 billion of previously approved procurement plans, of which €8.35 billion had already been disbursed.

"As Russia intensifies its attacks, we are ⁠stepping up to help Ukraine protect its people and defend its skies. Europe stands ⁠with Ukraine and we will deliver what it needs, when it ⁠needs it," said European Commission President Ursula von ⁠der Leyen in a statement.
