EU foreign ministers will travel to Lviv, Ukraine on May 9 to pledge €1 billion in support for Ukraine’s defense industry and endorse the creation of an International Tribunal for war crimes and aggression, said EU Foreign Policy Chief Kaja Kallas during a press conference in Warsaw.
“Tomorrow we are going to Ukraine, and we are going to make available €1 billion for Ukraine’s defense industry,” said Kallas. “We will also give the final political endorsement for the establishment of the Tribunal… There will be no impunity.”

The announcement followed an informal Gymnich-format meeting of EU foreign ministers in Warsaw, where the ministers focused primarily on Ukraine’s situation and the pursuit of a peaceful, just resolution to the conflict.
