Vice President of European Commission arrives in Ukraine

"It is a great honor to return to Ukraine, which is courageously repelling Russia's brutal and illegal aggression, and to reiterate the unwavering support of the European Union. Ukraine, its people, have already made their clear choice, no matter what the Kremlin has in mind," Dombrovskis writes on X.

In addition, the European politician posted a photo from the railway station in Kyiv.

Велика честь повернутися в Україну, яка мужньо дає відсіч жорстокій і незаконній агресії Росії, як і знову висловити непохитну підтримку Євросоюзу.

Україна, її народ, уже зробили свій чіткий вибір, що б не мав на думці Кремль.

Їхнє майбутнє в Європі

EU assistance to Ukraine

The European Union has imposed 13 packages of sanctions against Russia since the beginning of the full-scale invasion of Ukraine. EU countries have also provided military assistance to Ukraine, and Brussels has allocated humanitarian aid to Ukrainians and refugees.

In early May 2023, the EU Council approved a decision to provide one billion euros in aid to Ukraine for joint purchases of ammunition and missiles. It was planned that European countries would provide Ukraine with one million rounds of ammunition by March 2024, but EU countries were unable to fulfill the plan in full.

According to President Zelenskyy, Ukraine has received less than half of the promised ammunition from the EU.
