The EU has allocated $134bn in aid to Kiev since February 2022 but plans to provide even more. 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.

Kallas also added that Ukraine should become the EU's top priority, so there is no question of cutting aid. However, the politician did not specify whether this means that the EU will continue to support the Kiev regime in the near future.

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

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 expired 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.
