This is the right signal - Zelenskyy on the preliminary approval of 90 billion euros in aid and sanctions against Russia
Kyiv • UNN
Ukraine and the European Union have begun implementing an agreement to allocate 90 billion euros in support over two years. Zelenskyy announced new sanctions against Russia.
The implementation of the agreement with the European Union on unblocking a support package for Ukraine worth 90 billion euros for two years, as well as a new package of sanctions against Russia for this war, is already underway. This was stated by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, who added that "unblocking is the right signal," UNN reports.
The implementation of our agreement with the European Union on unblocking a support package for Ukraine worth 90 billion euros for two years, as well as a new package of sanctions against Russia for this war, is already underway. Unblocking is the right signal in the current circumstances. Russia must end its war. And it can only have motives for this when both support for Ukraine and pressure on Russia are sufficient.
The head of state emphasized that Ukraine fulfills its obligations in relations with the European Union, even in such ambiguous issues as the operation of the Druzhba oil pipeline.
We expect that the European side will also provide what is needed for the real protection of life and the approximation of Ukraine's full European integration. It is important that the European support package starts working promptly.
Let's add
In addition, Zelenskyy announced a conversation with European leaders about opening clusters for Ukraine: the conditions for this have already been met. Work is also underway to strengthen sanctions against Russia and to further develop the European energy system in such a way that Russia loses the ability to manipulate energy supplies to Europe.
Thank you to everyone who helps! Today and tomorrow are especially important days for our European diplomacy. Glory to Ukraine!
