European Defence Commissioner Andrius Kubilius has stated that the EU can significantly strengthen military support for Ukraine by purchasing weapons directly from Ukrainian manufacturers.

While some people credit him with saving the country from borrowing expensive foreign loans and deeper crisis, others blame him for loss of benefits and pensions during the time of economic hardship.
