“We must not only speed up the delivery of ammunition. We must look to the future and consider Ukraine’s defense capabilities as our own. … This will help not only cover Ukraine’s defense needs, but will also contribute to joint planning between our militaries,” von der Leyen said .

She also emphasized that “Europe will be next to Ukraine during every day of this war and every day after it.”

The publication adds that the resolution entitled “The need for unwavering EU support for Ukraine after two years of Russia’s aggressive war against Ukraine” will be put to a vote during the sessional meeting of the European Parliament on February 26.
