As of April 14, 2025, Kaja Kallas, the EU's High Representative for Foreign Affairs, announced that EU member states have successfully supplied two-thirds of their goal to deliver two million artillery shells to Ukraine.

This target is part of a €40 billion military aid package proposed by Kallas in March, which aims to double the EU's support for Ukraine compared to the previous year.

Kallas highlighted the urgency of increasing ammunition supplies in light of recent Russian attacks, noting that materials are readily available in the market for immediate action.

Initially, the proposal included funding for a range of military assets, including air defense systems and fighter jets, but faced resistance from member states regarding financial contributions, leading to a scaled-down focus on ammunition purchases estimated at €5 billion.

In addition to military aid, the EU is preparing its 17th sanctions package against Russia, which aims to tighten regulations on Russian oil tankers, although consensus on including natural gas exports remains uncertain.

The EU's support for Ukraine also encompasses training Ukrainian soldiers as part of its ongoing military mission.

Since the start of 2025, EU member states have contributed over €23 billion to Ukraine, encompassing both military and humanitarian aid.

Portuguese Foreign Minister Paulo Rangel emphasized that there is a broad consensus among EU members on the necessity of ongoing financial, political, humanitarian, and military support for Ukraine.

During discussions, ministers considered expanding the mission's mandate to include contributions to security guarantees in a post-war scenario.

Rangel also underscored the importance of broader international cooperation, suggesting that countries like the US, China, India, and Brazil could play significant roles in influencing Russia towards more reasonable positions.
