Reuters. European Union foreign policy chief Josep Borrell arrived in Kyiv on Tuesday (February 6) on a trip to underline the EU's military support for Ukraine as the war nears its third year, he said.
Borrell said his talks in Kyiv would discuss support for Ukraine on both the military and financial sides, as well as Kyiv's progress on its reform path in its bid to join the 27-member bloc.
The European Union approved a four-year 50 billion euro ($54 billion) facility for Ukraine last week in a major boost for Kyiv which depends heavily on its Western allies for military and financial support.
Ukrainian military officials have said they face an acute shortage of ammunition and artillery shells as Russian forces press on with renewed assaults on several areas in the east and southeast of the country.
