1 source · first reported 2h ago
Ukraine's new defense minister is urging Europe to provide $27 billion in funding, primarily for air defenses, in anticipation of winter attacks. EU officials have agreed to consider the request, but have made no immediate commitments. The request comes amid heightened tensions with Russia, which Germany has accused of terrorism.
Why it matters
The funding is crucial for Ukraine's air defense capabilities, which are essential for the country's national security, especially in the face of expected winter attacks. The provision of such funding would have significant implications for the balance of power in the region.
