EU may provide Ukraine with another 500 million euros of military aid

The EU intends to allocate an additional 500 million euros ($500 million) for military assistance to Ukraine through a special fund, within which an allocation of two billion euros has already been agreed.

"We are now discussing the possibility of the fifth tranche of more 500 million (euros)," European External Action Service (EEAS) Secretary-General Stefano Sannino said at a joint meeting of the defence and foreign policy committees of the European Parliament in Brussels on July 12, according to European Pravda.

He recalled that deliveries of lethal weapons were financed through this fund for the first time.

The EU has already allocated four tranches of 500 million euros each for military assistance to Ukraine. The total amount of financing for the purchase of weapons amounted to 2 billion euros.
