Many EU member states have already expressed their readiness to provide Ukraine with funds they could receive from the currently blocked European Peace Facility.
EU High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy Kaja Kallas said this while speaking to reporters today before the start of an informal meeting of EU defense ministers in Ireland, according to an Ukrinform correspondent.
Asked whether Ukraine could expect any concrete results from today’s meeting of defense ministers, Kallas noted that the informal nature of the meeting did not provide for any decisions to be taken, while adding that discussions would include efforts to unblock European Peace Facility funds.
“We will not take any decisions directly, but we are indeed working to unblock the European Peace Facility,” she said.
It should be recalled that €6.6 billion available under the European Peace Facility instrument remains blocked as member states continue discussions over the mechanism for distributing the funds.
