This was reported by <strong>Politico<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>The funds are needed to purchase weapons and air-defense systems, pay soldiers&#8217; salaries, support the families of the deceased, and to ensure supplies at the beginning of <strong>2027<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>The deficit arose after Ukraine tapped funds intended for the second half of the year early. The situation was also affected by a delay in the <strong>European Union<\/strong>&#8216;s <strong>\u20ac90 billion<\/strong> loan, which was blocked earlier in the year by <strong>Hungary<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>Part of the funding was directed toward fiber-optic drones, medium-range strike drones and interceptors. The new shortfall comes in addition to <strong>\u20ac30 billion<\/strong> that Europe has already pledged to provide Ukraine as part of the same loan package.<\/p>\n<p><strong>On 24 August<\/strong> the European Commission partially granted Kyiv&#8217;s request, approving <strong>\u20ac6.1 billion<\/strong> for new defense purchases. The latest tranche is intended to buy air-defense missiles, ammunition and radar stations \u2014 critically important for Ukraine&#8217;s needs.<\/p>\n<p>According to President <strong>Volodymyr Zelensky<\/strong>, Ukraine needs between <strong>\u20ac6.8 billion<\/strong> and <strong>\u20ac8.5 billion<\/strong> to properly start the next year. These funds are to cover payments for weaponry and supplies for <strong>January 2027<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>Another roughly <strong>\u20ac17 billion<\/strong> is needed to pay soldiers&#8217; salaries, assist <strong>fam<\/strong>ilies of the deceased and cover other expenses. The publication stresses that funding is needed in advance \u2014 for uninterrupted supplies and stability of the defense sector.<\/p>\n<p>Military spending and aid to Ukraine will also be discussed at the <strong>NATO<\/strong> summit. It is expected to involve support worth <strong>$70 billion<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p><!-- website-article-source:71c3ec891c58ddbc3465f3d9 --><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\ud83d\udee1\ufe0f Ukraine faces a \u20ac23 billion shortfall in defense funding after the early use of funds earmarked for the second half of the year.<br \/>\nThe delay of the EU's \u20ac90 billion loan, blocked by Hungary, has complicated the situation.<br \/>\nThe European Commission approved \u20ac6.1 billion for defense purchases, but a further \u20ac17 billion is needed for soldiers' salaries and payments to the families of the fallen.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":12394,"featured_media":608529,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","tstyn_error":"","tie_post_sub_title":"Funds are needed for armaments, air defense, payments to the military, and securing supplies in early 2027"},"categories":[4578],"tags":[4682,4782],"class_list":["post-608537","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-society","tag-eu","tag-ukraine"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v28.3 (Yoast SEO v28.3) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Ukraine is short of \u20ac23 billion for defense due to delays in Western aid - \u041d\u043e\u0432\u0438\u043d\u0438 \u041c\u0438\u043a\u043e\u043b\u0430\u0454\u0432\u0430 \u0441\u044c\u043e\u0433\u043e\u0434\u043d\u0456<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"\ud83d\udee1\ufe0f Ukraine faces a \u20ac23 billion shortfall in defense funding after the early use of funds earmarked for the second half of the year.
