🇪🇺 EU releases €6.6 billion in military aid for Ukraine

The EU member states reached a political agreement on 25 September to release a €6.6 billion program under the European Peace Facility. The funds had effectively been frozen since spring 2023 because of Hungary’s veto. The decision was made at the level of the EU Political and Security Committee.

The mechanism is now expected to move into practical implementation. ⁠The European Peace Facility reimburses EU member states for part of the costs of weapons and ammunition delivered to Ukraine. Kaja Kallas had previously made clear that the €6.6 billion represents the total amount of the mechanism being released and that the specific allocation of the funds between reimbursements to the countries and new aid for Kyiv still had to be worked out.
