/tass/. The EU countries have submitted to Brussels an invoice for €10 billion to compensate for the supply of weapons to Ukraine.

This was stated on Tuesday by the head of the EU Foreign Policy Service, Josep Borrel, upon arrival at a meeting of EU defense ministers.

"We will consider the supply of ammunition to Ukraine and discuss the European Peace Fund. The member countries have provided us with accounts for €10 billion, which is significantly more than expected. That is, with €3.5 billion (allocated from the European Peace Fund to compensate for part of the cost of supplies - approx. TASS) we have already been able to mobilize arms supplies worth €10 billion," Borrel said.
