The head of state added that he links this to the unblocking of the European support package for Ukraine, which has already been approved by the European Council.
We hope that partners will also take appropriate steps regarding clusters for Ukraine – we have already done our part of the work on the first clusters. In addition, it is worth continuing systemic sanctions pressure on Russia for this war and working on further diversification of energy supplies to Europe. Europe must be independent of those who try to destroy or weaken Europe. Thank you to everyone who helps!
