– Svyrydenko wrote.
The tranche, according to her, is secured by proceeds from frozen assets of the Russian central bank in the European Union and “is an important signal for us about Europe’s determination to strengthen Ukraine’s defense capabilities and provide long-term support.”
“I thank European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen and EU Commissioner for Economy and Productivity Valdis Dombrovskis for their leadership. These funds mean thousands of saved lives, rebuilt cities, and Ukraine’s irreversible European path,” she emphasized.
As the head of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen, noted in turn, upon arriving at the informal EU summit in Copenhagen, “today we are allocating 4 billion euros to Ukraine. And, as agreed with them, half will be allocated to drones.”
