White smoke at the Committee of Permanent Representatives to the EU (Coreper) on the approval of the Ukraine Assistance Facility (UAF) to provide urgent military aid to Kiev.
The measure, worth 5 billion euros for 2024, is the result of a compromise and provides for the possibility of purchasing weapons - and obtaining reimbursements from the fund - on the international market if the European industry is not able to quickly process orders.
The UAF is part of the European Peace Fund (EPF).
