Details: Kallas said that the European Union has provided Ukraine with €27 billion in military assistance this year.
Quote: "Our priorities are twofold: putting more pressure on Moscow and generating more support for Kyiv. Europe is providing Ukraine with a record €27 billion of military support this year. We have also met our pledge of providing 2 million rounds of artillery shells, but it is also clear that it's no time to slow down. We have to do more to strengthen Ukraine's defence and its hand in negotiations while Russia keeps rejecting peace."
Background:
- In September 2025, Kallas said EU countries intended to supply Ukraine with two million artillery shells by October. At that time, she noted that member states had already provided 80% of the promised ammunition.
- At the beginning of December, Kallas expressed regret that the plan to provide Ukraine with two million shells in 2025 had not yet been implemented.
- Czechia supplied Ukraine with 1.8 million rounds of large-calibre ammunition this year.
- Czech President Petr Pavel said that Czech authorities have already begun preparing ammunition supplies for Ukraine for 2026.
