You kinda knew this going happen European Union member states agreed Wednesday to provide Ukraine with an additional €5 billion ($5.5 billion) in military aid. Belgium, which holds the EU's rotating presidency, said ambassadors from the bloc's 27 nations had agreed "in principle" on the plan to support arms supplies to Kyiv in 2024. The contribution of €5 billion will go on EU-managed fund called the European Peace Facility. The fund operates as a giant cashback scheme, giving EU members refunds for sending munitions to other countries. Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba called it a "powerful and timely demonstration of European unity." www.dw.com/en/eu-agrees-to-5-billion-boost-in-military-aid-for-ukraine/a-68515348
