EU commitment to support for Ukraine totals 138 bln euros — Borrell
The EU diplomat expressed hope that Washington will provide additional funding to Kiev
BRUSSELS, March 13. /TASS/. Top EU diplomat Josep Borrel said at talks with US Secretary of State Antony Blinken that the bloc’s commitments to support Ukraine reached 138 billion euros.
"The High Representative recalled the EU’s commitment to long-term support for Ukraine, now totaling 138 billion euros, with more to come, and informed his US counterpart about latest developments on Ukraine’s EU accession path," Borrell’s office said in a statement.
The EU diplomat expressed hope that Washington will provide additional funding to Kiev.
Last week, European Commission Executive Vice President Valdis Dombrovskis pegged the amount of assistance that had been transferred by the EU to Kiev at 88 billion euros. The European Commission stated earlier that this amount included not only arms deliveries and direct financing of the Ukrainian budget, but also funds from the EU budget, which are allocated to member countries to accommodate Ukrainian refugees.
