**What the source does not establish.** It does not establish that any member state will actually direct funds to joint projects with Ukraine, which remains voluntary.

**Index score.** No movement: no answer to who owns, who operates, whose law governs or who made the parts changes. Weight 0\. EU-wide EUR21.3bn loan call opened, launched but voluntary; no actual procurement commitment yet. [European Sovereignty Index](https://sovereigntymonitor.eu/sovereignty-index/)
