Kallas said that EU member states have provided Ukraine with nearly 169 billion euros since the start of the war with Russia. Additionally, she addressed the supply of large-caliber ammunition.

"This year alone, member states will provide more than ever before, €25 billion. To date, they have delivered 80% of our target of 2 million rounds of ammunition. By October, we aim to reach 100%," the EU foreign policy chief said.

According to her, this is necessary for Ukraine to be able to defend itself and repel aggression.
