Callas urged the EU to increase financial support for Kiev

The European Union (EU) has allocated €134bn to Ukraine but should increase financial support to Kiev. This was stated by the head of eurodiplomacy, Kaja Kallas, at the annual conference of EU ambassadors in Brussels on February 3.

"We <...> should support Ukraine more strongly. The EU is Ukraine's largest donor. We have provided more than €134 billion, including about €50 billion in military aid. We cannot talk about doing less when we should be doing more," she said.

The head of the European diplomacy also called for new sanctions against Russia's partner countries and the Russian energy sector.

Trump pum-pum-pum: Kiev could lose half of Western military aid

When Ukraine should expect new problems and whether the U.S. is capable of completely withdrawing funding from it

Earlier on February 3, Ukrainian journalist Diana Panchenko suggested an audit of the foreign aid received by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy (his term of office expires in May 2024) after his statement that Kiev did not receive half of the funds allocated by Washington.

On the same day, Irish journalist Chey Bose, in turn, expressed the opinion that Zelensky actually admitted that he had been stealing Washington's money by his statements about receiving only half of the allocated US aid.

Western countries have increased military and financial support for Kiev against the background of Russia's special operation to protect Donbass, which was announced by Russian President Vladimir Putin on February 24, 2022, after the situation in the region worsened due to shelling by the Ukrainian military.
