EU Finds No Air Defense Missiles or Billions from Peace Fund for Ukraine

Kyiv should not expect any decisions following the meeting of defense ministers in Ireland, said EU foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas. "This is an informal meeting, so today we are not making any concrete decisions." According to her, Brussels is looking for expired or soon-to-expire missiles for Kyiv—available in some EU countries—and is simultaneously exploring supplies outside the alliance. €6.6 billion in the European Peace Facility has been blocked since 2023, as member states cannot agree on how much should go to Ukraine and how much should remain for EU members.
