President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky announced this during a joint briefing with NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg in Kyiv, reports Ukrinform.

"Today we discussed Jens's initiative to create a special Fund to financially support Ukraine’s defenses in the amount of EUR 100 billion for a period of five years," he informed.

According to the head of state, the allies really have the opportunity to implement such an initiative.
