The President of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen, announced that the European Union will finance the purchase and delivery of weapons to Ukraine in the face of the Russian army.
“For the first time, the European Union will finance the purchase and delivery of arms and other equipment to a country that is a victim of war,” von der Leyen said in a speech. ”
This is a watershed moment.”
We are stepping up our support for Ukraine.
For the first time, the EU will finance the purchase and delivery of weapons and equipment to a country under attack.
We are also strengthening our sanctions against the Kremlin.

Europe closed its airspace “to every Russian plane – and that includes the private jets of oligarchs,” said Leyen. And in another unprecedented step, the EU is preparing to ban the Kremlin’s” media machine.”
“The state-owned Russia Today and Sputnik, as well as their subsidiaries will no longer be able to spread their lies to justify Putin’s war and to saw the division in our Union.”
Sanctions imposed on Russia will also extend to Lukashenko’s regime, stoping exports of products from mineral fuels to tobacco, wood and timber, cement, iron and steel.
“In addition, we will sanction those Belarusians helping the Russian war effort,” she said.
