Ukraine requires an extra $27 billion to effectively counter Russian aggression, according to Defense Minister Yevhen Khmara. This amount is necessary to increase critical weapons volumes and secure additional funding for drone production and air defense missiles. During a meeting with EU defense ministers, Khmara urged partners to allocate funds for purchasing Ukrainian drones and accelerate the EU loan disbursement.
The minister also called for the resumption of discussions on utilizing frozen Russian assets. Alongside these financial measures, Khmara emphasized the need for Patriot missiles, air-to-air interceptors, and MANPADS ammunition to protect against Russian aerial threats. He highlighted that every euro invested in Ukraine's defense contributes to European security.
The defense minister stressed that the Ministry of Defense, in collaboration with military leadership, is developing asymmetric solutions-based projects. A unified war plan is expected to be presented to partners soon. The United States and Germany have both expressed their support for Ukraine, with Germany's Ministry of Defense affirming that backing Ukraine aligns with their national interests.
