The package was initially proposed in the spring of last year but remained blocked for several months due to a veto by Hungary. Hungary announced in December that it would lift its veto, clearing the way for approval of the aid. The European Peace Facility, established five years ago, is used by Brussels to finance military training missions and the provision of military equipment to non-EU countries. Armenia first received EPF support in 2024, when it was allocated €10 million.
