Quote: “We decided to introduce what we call the European Peace Facility to encourage more military support for Ukraine in coordination with our member states. There is a common political will to improve the instrument, to improve the mechanism, founded on the basis that we want to provide more missiles, more ammunition through the EU and bilateral assistance.”
Details: Michel noted that the development of investments in the EU’s defence capabilities will be discussed at the leaders’ summit scheduled for 14-15 December.
At this week’s summit, EU leaders are also planning to consider providing Ukraine with €20 billion over the next four years to finance its military needs.
