The document was signed by the defense ministers of the Netherlands and Ukraine, Ruben Brekelmans and Denys Shmyhal in Brussels on the sidelines of the EU Defense Ministerial Council meeting.
Earlier, before the meeting, Brekelmans announced that the funds would be used to purchase air defense munitions from US stockpiles under the PURL initiative, as well as ammunition for F-16s.
He also noted that there is no contradiction in providing military assistance to Ukraine while a peaceful resolution to the conflict is being discussed.
He argued that, firstly, Russia continues to attack Ukraine, which needs to defend itself, and secondly, easing the pressure on Russia will not force it to agree to a peace settlement.
