The European Union will purchase weapons for Ukraine as it fights against Russia’s invasion, officials said Sunday.

“For the first time ever, the European Union will finance the purchase and delivery of weapons and other equipment to a country that is under attack, Ursula von der Leyen, the European Commission president, said.

A commission source told Reuters it planned to spend €450m in EU funds on weapons for Ukraine, and an additional €50m on other items including medical supplies.
