We will remind you that yesterday for the first time in history, the European Union made the decision to provide lethal weapons to the third party country - Ukraine. Germany, which had previously refused to supply arms to Ukraine, agreed to supply 1,000 anti-tank weapons and 500 Stinger missiles after a full-scale Russian invasion. Italy is preparing financial support, Spain is preparing humanitarian support, and Turkey is deepening defense ties with partners in Ukraine.
