"The Council today adopted an assistance measure worth €1 billion under the European Peace Facility (EPF) to support the Ukrainian Armed Forces. This measure will allow the EU to reimburse member states for ammunition donated to Ukraine from existing stocks or from the reprioritisation of existing orders during the period 9 February to 31 May 2023," the EU council said in a statement.The adopted assistance measure has boosted "the total EU contribution for Ukraine under the EPF to €4.6 billion," according to the statement.Since the beginning of the Ukrainian conflict in 2022, the EU has allocated seven aid tranches worth about 500 million euros to finance arms supplies to Kiev.The EPF was established in March 2021 under the Common Foreign and Security Policy in order to strengthen the EU's self-proclaimed role as a global security provider. The EPF's declared purposes include the maintenance of peace and the prevention of conflicts.Western countries have been supplying military aid to Ukraine since the start of the conflict with Russia last February. The aid evolved from lighter artillery munitions and training in 2022 to heavier weapons, including tanks, by 2023. Ukraine has now asked for fighter jets, a request that has so far been met with reluctance in the United States and most EU countries.

EU Council Approves Over $1Bln for Emergency Ammunition Supplies to Ukraine
12:54 GMT 13.04.2023 (Updated: 14:00 GMT 13.04.2023) MOSCOW (Sputnik) - The Council of the European Union said on Thursday that it approved 1 billion euros ($1.1 billion) to compensate member countries for ammunition supplies to Ukraine until May 31.
"The Council today adopted an assistance measure worth €1 billion under the European Peace Facility (EPF) to support the Ukrainian Armed Forces. This measure will allow the EU to reimburse member states for ammunition donated to Ukraine from existing stocks or from the reprioritisation of existing orders during the period 9 February to 31 May 2023," the
EU council said in a statement.
The adopted assistance measure has boosted "the total EU contribution for Ukraine under the EPF to €4.6 billion," according to the statement.
Since the beginning of the Ukrainian conflict in 2022, the EU has allocated seven aid tranches worth about 500 million euros to finance arms supplies to Kiev.
The EPF was established in March 2021 under the Common Foreign and Security Policy in order to strengthen the EU's self-proclaimed role as a global security provider. The EPF's declared purposes include the maintenance of peace and the prevention of conflicts.
Western countries have been supplying military aid to Ukraine since the start of the conflict with Russia last February. The aid evolved from lighter artillery munitions and training in 2022 to heavier weapons, including tanks, by 2023. Ukraine has now asked for fighter jets, a request that has so far been met with reluctance in the United States and most EU countries.
