The EU is preparing a long-term security support plan for Ukraine.

The European External Affairs Service has developed a draft plan that recommends that the EU undertake a full package of obligations regarding the security of Ukraine for many years.

According to Politico, the proposals cover a wide range: ensuring a “steady” flow of weapons, continuing military exercises and training, sharing intelligence, and helping to establish ties between Ukrainian and European defense companies. The document also states that Ukraine’s membership in the EU also acts as an obligation in the security field. In addition, it is noted that the block should provide long-term financial support for Ukraine’s recovery.

Moreover, Brussels is encouraging EU countries to send their weapons to Ukraine, offering partial compensation for such donations. This compensation system is the basis of the EU’s long-term military support for Ukraine, and officials will soon propose a plan to create a special cash fund for such efforts, which will run until 2027.
