The money should help the EU continue to jointly buy equipment and supplies for the Ukrainian military, including lethal weaponry, which the bloc has said should be used for defensive purposes, the Reuters news agency reported.
The EU's top diplomat Josep Borrell said in a tweet: "We continue to firmly stand by Ukraine in light of Russia’s continued atrocities, and to lend our support to its fight for freedom and independence."
The Polish foreign ministry said Monday's meeting opened with a video call with Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba "during which further sanctions on Russia and military support for Ukraine were discussed."
The Polish foreign ministry added that other issues discussed at the meeting included "digital diplomacy, the EU's relations with Latin American countries and the prospect of convening an association council between the EU and Israel."
Monday was day 145 of Russia's invasion of Ukraine.
