The European Union has approved the fourth tranche of military assistance to Ukraine worth 500 m euros.
This was announced by the head of the President's Office Andriy Yermak.
"Weapons for our victory. The EU has approved the fourth tranche of military aid to Ukraine in the amount of 500 m euros. We thank the allies," he said.
Ermak stressed that Ukraine needs "a lot and fast - you can no longer waste time."

This additional 500 m euros will be used to purchase heavy weapons, including armored vehicles, tanks, heavy artillery and ammunition.
