The EU's top diplomat, Josep Borrell, believes that Ukrainians should not worry and that European support is as stronger as ever. He said this on the sidelines of a meeting of EU foreign ministers in Brussels, The Guardian reports.
Borrell acknowledged that the EU is now involved in the search for a solution in the Middle East. But this, he said, does not mean that it will stop supporting Ukraine.
"Don’t worry, don’t worry, Ukrainians have not to worry – European support continues as stronger as ever, and it will continue," he said.
Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba is also expected to speak at the meeting of EU foreign ministers - but online.
Lithuanian Minister Gabrielius Landsbergis, has arrived in Brussels with a mission to reinvigorate the EU’s support for Ukraine.
"If they [Ukraine] are unsuccessful, we have to be ready to answer the question, who will contain Russia then? And there’s nothing else who could contain Russia, apart from Nato and apart from the countries who are closest to Russia. And that means also my country. It means Poland. That means other countries on the eastern flank. And so it’s a battle of self preservation as well for Europe," he said.
