What happened
The move comes as EU defense ministers met in Dublin. The ministers discussed bolstering support for Ukraine, with most EU countries agreeing to provide European Peace Facility funds to Ukraine if unblocked. The EU's High Representative, Kaja Kallas, urged countries to supply Ukraine with expiring air defense missiles.
The Journal noted that Ireland has pledged €10 million to Ukraine for combat training. Germany blamed Russia for a drone attack in Leipzig. Ukraine has reportedly asked to purchase Patriot missiles using EU loan funds.
France 24 and the Kyiv Post both noted that Ukraine hopes for bolstered support from the EU. However, EUobserver stated that EU defense ministers refused to provide Patriot missiles to Ukraine and sidestepped Israel sanctions. The current state of the EU's defense strategy remains in flux.
