Details: Kallas noted that EU member states have provided nearly €169 billion in financial support to Ukraine since the start of Russia's full-scale war. She also highlighted the supply of large-calibre ammunition to Ukraine.

"They (EU member states – ed.) have now also provided 80% of our 2 million rounds of ammunition target. We aim [for] 100% by October," Kallas said. 

She noted that such aid is essential for Ukraine to safeguard its people and defend against Russian aggression.

Background: 

• In April 2025, Kallas said the EU member states had collected a third of the two million rounds of ammunition promised to Ukraine.
• Czechia, meanwhile, confirmed that Ukraine will receive guaranteed monthly ammunition deliveries until the autumn of 2025 through a Czech-led initiative enabling partner countries to jointly finance arms purchases on global markets.
• Czech President Petr Pavel added that preparations have begun for ammunition deliveries to Ukraine in 2026.
