Quote: "It's very important that the funds from the European Peace Facility have now been unlocked. It's very important. This is €6 billion. It is a significant amount, and it should be used for what truly helps protect lives – and, if it's possible, of course, for what has been proven in this war, for what works, really works. Please support the rapid use of these funds so that no life is lost because of delays."
