The 27 European Union member states have agreed to send another €500 million in military aid to Ukraine.
Top EU Diplomat, Josep Borrell, announced on Wednesday in a statement.

It is the third package of military aid the EU has agreed to send to Ukraine to defend itself amid the Russian invasion.
In total, the EU has sent €1.5 billion in military aid.
However, in February and March, the EU had announced two previous tranches of military aid, each worth €500m, in a historic first for the bloc to arm a non-EU member under attack. (NAN)
