The European Union has provided Ukraine with \u20ac3.9 billion to purchase drones, continuing its financial and military support. This move comes as Ukrainian attacks against Moscow have increased in recent days, marking a new escalation in tensions between the two sides.<\/p>\n
This amount is part of a $90 billion loan package that the EU approved in early 2026. With this payment, Brussels is progressing in fulfilling its financial commitments to Ukraine, delivering part of the promised funds to the Ukrainian government.<\/p>\n
Previously, on June 25, another \u20ac3.2 billion from the same loan was disbursed to cover Ukraine’s government expenses. European officials have stated that these aids aim to maintain financial stability and strengthen Ukraine\u2019s defensive capabilities.<\/p>\n
Ursula von der Leyen, President of the European Commission, announced that the latest funds are allocated specifically for drone purchases. According to her, this investment will help Ukraine protect its citizens, preserve its sovereignty, and contribute to enhancing Europe\u2019s security. The Russia-Ukraine war, which began in 2022, remains one of the continent\u2019s most significant security challenges.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
