BRUSSELS (Reuters) - European Union foreign policy chief Josep Borrell has proposed adding 3.5 billion euros ($3.85 billion) to a fund used to finance military aid for Ukraine, EU sources said on Wednesday.

The sources, speaking on condition of anonymity, said Borrell had asked EU governments to provide more cash for the European Peace Facility (EPF), a fund that has already allocated some 4.6 billion euros in military aid for Ukraine.
