EU Leaders See 'Urgent Need' for Ammo, Missile Deliveries to Ukraine
News - Middle East: EU leaders have cited an "urgent need" to accelerate the delivery of ammunition and missiles to Ukraine after unanimously agreeing to extend 50 billion euros ($54 billion) in new aid to Kiev.
A statement issued at an EU summit in Brussels, however, stopped short of endorsing a call by some member states to inject 5 billion euros separate to the 50 billion euros into a broader military assistance fund for Ukraine.
The leaders said they were determined to continue providing timely, predictable and sustainable military support to Ukraine.
EU High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy Josep Borrell said the critical situation in Ukraine required EU member states to bolster their all-out support to the Kiev forces.
Borrell insisted that the NATO allies were required to step up on the shipment of arms and ammo to Ukraine, warning that a failure to act would result in greater losses for EU member states.
