European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen on Wednesday announced the allocation of €6 billion from the Extraordinary Revenue Acceleration (ERA) loans to support a new drone alliance with Ukraine.
The funding aims to strengthen Kyiv’s defense capabilities amid intensifying Russian strikes and increasing reliance on unmanned aerial systems in the conflict. The Commission highlighted that this initiative is part of the EU’s broader commitment to ensure long-term military and financial support for Ukraine.
Further details on the scope of the alliance and implementation are expected in the coming days.
