Kaja Kallas urges EU countries to deliver end-of-life interceptor missiles to Kyiv

RTP Notícias1 September 2026 at 10:50

The High Representative of the European Union for Foreign Affairs, Kaja Kallas, urged EU member countries to deliver to Ukraine interceptor missiles that are already at the end of their service life. The official believes this would be a way to strengthen Ukrainian air defense capabilities without significant costs for European countries.

Kaja Kallas warned that Moscow is intensifying attacks against Ukraine with the aim of breaking Ukrainian resistance. This intensification comes at a time when Russian forces have been pressing on various fronts within Ukrainian territory.

The head of European diplomacy stressed the need for continuous and sustained support to Ukraine, arguing that the delivery of military equipment that would otherwise be decommissioned represents a pragmatic solution to strengthen Kyiv's defenses.

This position arises in the context of ongoing debates in the EU regarding the levels of military support to be provided to Ukraine, with different member states holding varying positions on the type and amount of military assistance to be granted.
