Ukraine’s foreign minister says Russia is deliberately targeting civilians
Meanwhile, the European Commission approved an additional disbursement of €6.1bn to Ukraine from its 90bn loan, which can be used to buy urgently needed Patriot air defence missiles and other supplies.
“Ukraine’s military edge depends on the rapid availability of critical products in the required quantities and within very short timeframes. Accelerating EU deliveries through destocking, reprioritising orders and ramping up the production remains crucial,” the commission said.
“With this approval, Ukraine can now also purchase the Patriot equipment it needs to better protect its skies from Russia’s indiscriminate attacks. Together with our Member States and Nato, we will continue to deliver for Ukraine while strengthening Europe’s own defence.”
