They also claim that the potential cost of the package can increase to € 10 billion – after EU countries are estimated that they can transfer to Kiev.
EU countries are planned to be able to join the package with financial or military equipment, and their contribution will be proportional to gross national income, Politico writes.
EU foreign ministers are expected to consider the package during the next meeting in Brussels next week.
It is unlikely that military assistance will be approved by the EU countries unanimously through the position of Hungary, it is reported in the material, so it can be issued from a coalition of willing countries.
According to Politico, the package announcement may take place on the eve of the symbolic visit of the European Commissioners to Kiev, which is scheduled for February 24.
Before that, the media has learned that the EU was discussing a large -scale plan for increasing defense costs and assistance to Ukraine for the purchase of military equipment, which may have probably reached about 700 billion euros.
