European Union to Lobby Canada and UK for Increased Ukraine Funding Amid €70 Billion Gap

The European Union is preparing to lobby Canada and the United Kingdom to increase their financial support for Ukraine. This effort aims to help close a projected €70 billion funding gap Kyiv faces in 2027, exacerbated by uncertainty surrounding future US aid. Brussels plans to make its case at upcoming summits with Canada and the UK, emphasizing that the EU and its member states currently provide 80% of Ukraine's external financial aid and urging other international partners to contribute more.
