Czech PM among five EU leaders urging more support for Ukraine

The prime ministers of Czechia, Germany, Denmark, Estonia and the Netherlands have called for further support for Ukraine, which has been defending itself against Russia’s military invasion for nearly two years.

In an open letter published by Financial Times on Wednesday, the prime ministers say that if Ukrainian soldiers are to keep fighting, they will need more ammunition, and Europe should therefore redouble its collective aid effort, especially in terms of military support.

EU leaders will meet on Thursday at an extraordinary summit in Brussels that is to deal with further military and financial aid to Ukraine.
