The European Union has unblocked 6.6 billion euros from the European Peace Fund for Ukraine

BRUSSELS, September 25 - RIA Novosti. The lion's share of the 6.6 billion euros released by the European Union from the European Peace Fund, intended to support Ukraine, will be sent to EU countries as compensation for previously carried out arms supplies, said the head of European diplomacy Kaja Kallas.

“The EU countries have agreed on the terms of allocating 6.6 billion euros from the European Peace Fund to Ukraine,” Kallas wrote on the social network X.

According to the data she cited, 4.7 billion euros of this amount will be used to reimburse costs to EU states. Thus, compensation to the countries of the union accounts for more than 70% of the unblocked funds.

Kallas clarified that some states have already announced their intention to subsequently send the share they received to Ukraine.

Another 900 million euros are earmarked for the EU's military training mission for Ukraine, and only one billion euros will fund new joint purchases of military equipment.
