The head of European diplomacy, Josep Borrell, following the meeting of the EU foreign ministers, reported that the EU foreign ministers did not discuss the fifth tranche of funding for military assistance to Ukraine, since, according to him, there were enough funds at that time. The EU has already allocated 500 million euros for four times military aid to Ukraine. The total amount of funding for the purchase of weapons amounted to 2 billion euros.
