KYIV, Feb 18 – EU countries are preparing a military aid package worth at least EUR 6 billion for Ukraine as it seeks to shore up Kyiv's strategic position at the outset of U.S.-led talks with Russia, Politico reported citing three EU diplomats.

The package, which should include everything from 1.5 million artillery shells to air defense systems, would mark one of the EU's largest military aid packages since Russia's full-scale invasion in 2022 and could be unveiled ahead of a highly symbolic visit by European commissioners to Kyiv on February 24.
