“The European Union will not allow Ukraine to run out of equipment,” EU foreign policy chief Josep Borrell told reporters after a meeting of European defense ministers in Brussels on Tuesday.
Diplomatic theory that Russia could be harmed “Impressive loss“Since the invasion of Ukraine, casualties of 15% of its troops have been suggested, but when asked how long it would take for the war to continue, he was discouraged.”I dare not make a guess as to how long Russia can resist”
On Friday, Borrell announced another $ 526 million (€ 500 million) lethal aid package to be sent to Kiev, bringing the total promised amount to $ 2.11 billion (€ 2 billion). The money will be used to buy heavy weapons such as tanks and artillery, he said, adding that he was more hopeful that the continental alliance would reach an elusive agreement on Russia’s oil embargo.

Following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, the European Union took an unprecedented step of providing ক 450 million in deadly aid to Kiev, followed by several member states.

The German- and French-brokered Minsk protocol was designed to give special status to isolated territories within the Ukrainian state.
The Kremlin has since demanded that Ukraine formally declare itself a neutral state that will never join the US-led NATO military bloc. Kyiv has insisted that the Russian invasion was completely unpopular and has denied claims that it is planning to forcibly retake the two republics.
