Qué ha ocurrido
On October 29, the European Commission announced a second SAFE defense funding round with a budget of 21.300 million euros. EU member states may apply to participate, and the Commission plans to notify them of a preliminary allocation within two weeks after the application deadline. The Commission urged governments to use the funds to strengthen cooperation with Ukraine, including by including joint defense procurement with Ukraine in their national investment plans. These are loans for EU member states rather than a separate aid package for Ukraine. Each country decides how to use the credits, and Ukraine's participation in joint projects is not mandatory. The Commission identified air and missile defense, drones and counter-drone systems, ammunition and missiles as priority areas.

It also stresses that this is not a separate Ukrainian aid package and that Ukraine's participation is not required for EU member states to receive funding.
