An important step regarding Ukraine. There is an agreement between the European Union countries
The agreement means the resolution of the dispute over Ukraine's ability to purchase weapons with EU funds in non-EU countries, in particular in Great Britain.
What financial support will Ukraine receive?
How much money was allocated for military support for Ukraine?
When will Ukraine receive the first tranche of aid?
What negotiations will the Member States start with the EP?
Military support for Ukraine is to go to EUR 60 billion of the EUR 90 billion of support granted to it in the form of a loan, and the remaining part is to be allocated for budgetary purposes and reforms.
Member states will start negotiations with the EP
According to an EU source, according to the agreement between the capitals, Ukraine should basically buy equipment from EU companies for this money. — If Ukraine's military needs require the urgent delivery of a defense product that is not available in the EU, Ukraine or an EEA/EFTA associated country, special derogations will apply, it said.
Now member states will start negotiations with the European Parliament. The countries will also have to ask the European Parliament for consent to change the EU budget, which will guarantee the EU loan to Ukraine. Once all steps are completed, the European Commission will be able to pay the first tranche at the beginning of the second quarter of this year.
