Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy held a conversation with diplomats, the results of which determined the format of work with the European Union to unblock the support package for Ukraine and continue the completely fair restrictions on Russia due to the war. Zelenskyy stated this in his evening address, UNN reports.
We also spoke with diplomats today – about activities for this April, for the first weeks of May. We determined the format of work with the European Union to unblock the support package for Ukraine and continue the completely fair restrictions on Russia due to the war. We see that correct changes in European policy are possible, and appropriate decisions must be prepared both regarding the support package for Ukraine, and regarding the opening of clusters, and regarding sanctions against Russia.
He noted that the absence of new sanction steps demoralizes the defenders of a united Europe and encourages Russia to continue this war and its aggression in general.
Signals of weakness from Europe cannot be given. From the Ukrainian side, as we said, we will continue to work – completely constructively with each partner and with the EU as a whole. We count on the same approach from partners – decisions are needed. I have given our diplomats appropriate instructions.
