Kubilius knows a way to strengthen the EUs military support for UkraineAndrius Kubilius, the European Union Commissioner for Defense and Space, recalled that the US and the EU currently allocate about 40 billion euros each year for military assistance to Ukraine.
According to him, these funds could be used more effectively by investing them in the purchase of weapons directly from Ukrainian manufacturers.
If Trump does not convince Putin to make peace, we could make a more compelling case for peace very quicklyby significantly increasing our military support for Ukraine.

This will allow for the actual doubling of the volume of weapons provided to Ukraine without increasing costs.The real cost of our support will increase to 80 billion euros.Kubilius drew attention to a new instrument, the EUs security loans, which allow member states to finance military purchases for Ukraine.
In his opinion, this will open the way to implementing the peace through strength strategy.
