The total military aid provided by the European Union and its Member States to Ukraine reaches EUR 8 billion, or about 45% of the amount of aid that Kyiv receives from the United States.
歐盟及其成員國向烏克蘭提供的軍事援助總額達到80億歐元,約占基輔從美國獲得援助總額的45%。
EU High Representative Josep Borrell said this at a press conference following the meeting of foreign ministers of the EU countries, according to an Ukrinform correspondent.
據烏克蘭新聞通訊員稱,歐盟高級代表何塞普博雷利在歐盟國家外長會議後的新聞發布會上說了這一點。
“We should not confuse the € 3.1 billion from the European Peace Facility, with the [combined] military support of the European Union and its Member States to Ukraine. Sometimes you can read some figures, a comparison between the United States’ effort and the European effort. I asked my military staff to do the best estimation of which is the amount of our military support to Ukraine, and I can advance a figure that tomorrow will be discussed with the Defence Ministers. I think I can say that at least €8 billion in military equipment have already been provided to Ukraine by the European Union and the Member States. It is about 45% of the effort done by the United States, so it is not negligible,” Borrell said.
“我們不應將來自歐洲和平基金的 31 億歐元與歐盟及其成員國對烏克蘭的[聯合]軍事支持混為一談。有時你可以讀到一些數字,比較美國和歐洲的努力。我讓我的軍事參謀人員對我們對烏克蘭的軍事支持金額做一個最好的估計,我可以提出一個數字,明天將與國防部長討論。我想我可以說,歐盟及其成員國已經向烏克蘭提供了至少 80 億歐元的軍事裝備。這大約占美國所做努力的 45%,因此不容忽視,”博雷爾說。
He noted that tomorrow, the EU Council will continue discussing these figures with the Defence Ministers and study “how these resources have been implemented, with which kind of defence material, and its effectiveness”.
他指出,明天,歐盟理事會將繼續與國防部長討論這些數據,並研究“這些資源是如何使用的,使用哪種國防材料,及其有效性”。
