We agreed on joint efforts to implement the Peace Formula and discussed expectations from the upcoming EU-Ukraine Summit”, Zelenskyi posted.
"For the first time in history, we provided lethal military equipment to Ukraine through our European Peace Facility just a few hours after the start of the [full-scale] war. So far, we have reached more than 3 billion euros in addition to the massive military contributions of our member countries. Since day one, we have stood by the people of Ukraine with strong diplomatic, financial, diplomatic, and political support. Together, the EU and its member states have contributed nearly 50 billion euros [in aid]," President of the European Council Charles Michel said at a press conference in Brussels after the signing of the 3rd Joint Declaration on EU-NATO cooperation, Ukrinform reports.
