The European Commission has approved funding of 45 billion euros for Ukraine in 2027. The approved amount is lower than the 70 billion euros requested by Kyiv. Of the total amount, 13.3 billion euros will come as direct allocations from the EU budget, while 31.7 billion euros will be used to purchase weapons. The European Commission added that it intends to "work at the same time to find additional funding", but did not specify possible sources.
