Von Der Leyen Promises To Step Up Defense Support For Ukraine
“Dear Volodymyr Zelensky, Europe is working harder than ever to strengthen Ukraine's defence. Our new anti-ballistic programme can help rapidly scale up production,” she wrote.
The European Commission president promised to provide Ukraine with additional defense support, as well as budgetary assistance as reforms in the Verkhovna Rada advance:
“More defence support is coming. And as reforms in the Rada progress, more budget support too. We have €37 billion still available in this calendar year."
