Ukraine seeks €40 billion in international funding for 2027 defense needs
Representatives of the Ministry of Defence of Ukraine took part in the 18th meeting of the Ukraine Donor Platform Steering Committee, held in Lviv. The event also brought together more than 100 delegates from Ukraine’s partner countries and international organizations.
Participants discussed several key issues, including raising €40 billion in international funding to cover unfunded defense needs in 2027.
This is the amount needed to consolidate progress and achieve stronger positions by 2027. The lion’s share of these funds goes to two areas: drones and air defense. We have a vision of how to meet this need.
Ukraine is already working to attract new donor countries, increase international aid budgets, and improve the quality of aid so that it more closely matches frontline needs.
Interceptor missiles, drones, and deep strike in Ukraine’s requests to partners
Urgent requests for the next four months include:
- deliveries of interceptor missiles for Patriot, IRIS-T, NASAMS, SAMP/T, and other systems;
- large-scale funding for the production of interceptor drones, as well as middle-strike and deep-strike capabilities.
