🇪🇺🇺🇦🇨🇳 Brussels is letting Ukraine tap part of a €6bn defense loan to buy Chinese drone parts, a quiet admission that Europe still can’t make enough of them itself.
Kyiv won the exemption on the first tranche, all of it earmarked for drones, by arguing the components it needs just aren’t available fast enough from European suppliers.
There’s an irony here: the EU has branded Beijing “the key enabler of Russia’s war,” but Ukraine’s own weapons industry runs on the same Chinese parts feeding Moscow.
With drones now behind about 80% of Russian battlefield casualties, Kyiv is chewing through them faster than anyone on its side can resupply.
