EU not to finance combat aircraft's dispatch to Ukraine

The EU will not finance the dispatch of combat aircraft to Ukraine. This was stated in an interview with Le Journal du Dimanche by the head of the European Council, Charles Michel.

"For the first time we are engaged in the supply of lethal weapons. However, these European funds are not intended to finance the supply of military aircraft to Ukraine", TASS quoted him.

At the same time, Michel stressed that some EU member countries are considering the possibility of supplying air force-related equipment or spare parts.

The head of the European Council reminded that Ukraine will receive from the EU lethal weapons of 450 million euros worth and defense equipment of 50 million euros.
