The total amount of EU military assistance to Ukraine is estimated at 8 billion euros, said the High Representative of the European Union, Josep Borrell.
«I think I can say that at least €8 billion in military equipment have already been provided to Ukraine by the European Union and the Member States. It is about 45% of the effort done by the United States, so it is not negligible.» he said at a press conference in Brussels following the meeting of foreign ministers of the EU Council.
Borrell urged not to confuse this assistance with assistance only within the framework of the European Peace Facility, which amounts to 3.1 billion euros.
«We are not talking about €3.1 billion, but about €8 billion on military support.» the head of European diplomacy stressed.
