A divide within the European Union over the allocation of billions in military support funds is unfolding, with Warsaw demanding full reimbursement for its past contributions and Berlin advocating redirecting the funds entirely to Ukraine.According to Polish media RMF24 on Wednesday, the disagreement concerns €6.6 billion ($7.6 billion) from the European Peace Facility (EPF) that was unlocked after Hungary lifted its veto on the EU support package for Ukraine, clearing the way for funding slated to strengthen Ukraine’s air defenses.JOIN US ON TELEGRAMFollow our coverage of the war on the @Kyivpost_official.Poland wants full compensation of about 2 billion zlotys (€450 million) for military aid given to Ukraine.“This money, this is our money,” said Polish Deputy Minister Cezary Tomczyk.Set up in 2021, the EPF is an off-budget fund for the EU to finance defense needs. Under the program, partner states receive defense-related support from the EU – for Ukraine, EU states would first send weapons and equipment to cover Kyiv’s needs, then receive reimbursements under the fund.RMF24 said EU countries have supplied Ukraine with a total of €43 billion ($49 billion), with a significant portion – around 40%, or roughly €13.5 billion ($15.5 billion) – to be reimbursed to member states. However, only €6.6 billion ($7.6 billion) is actually available, meaning that there is not enough money to fully repay all EU members.EU foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas proposed a proportional return of about 10% of the costs to each member state that helped fund Ukraine, with the remainder allocated to training Ukrainian troops and joint arms purchases.
