I welcome the US approval of a major $61 bill aid package to #Ukraine . This is good news, a clear message of Transatlantic unity to support Ukraine and its people.

To date, the European Union has committed $155+ BILLION to #Ukraine , $98 BILLION of which has been spent already. Breakdown:
🔹Up to $54B for Ukraine recovery
🔹$36B+ in military assistance
🔹$3.3B in humanitarian aid & emergency assistance
And much more: europa.eu/!n48g3X

The European Union has never faltered in its support for #Ukraine and we never will. To date we've committed over $155 billion. We are currently training 60,000 Ukrainian military personnel. Our unique fact sheet says it all: europa.eu/!n48g3X #StandWithUkraine
