Kyiv, Ukraine — The European Union reiterated its long-term support for Ukraine on Monday as its foreign ministers convened in Kyiv for a “historic” gathering beyond the bloc’s borders.
“It is the first time that we met in a candidate country. And, unfortunately, it was also the first time that the foreign ministers of the European Union met in a country at war,” he said at a press conference. And he called for the “acceleration” of work to direct “frozen Russian assets to finance the restoration of war-torn Ukraine”.
Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba told Borrell that the Kremlin was investing “huge resources” into its efforts to stir disunity among Ukraine’s allies, but urged them to stand firm. The Kremlin, which anticipated a lightning-fast takeover of Ukraine and is counting on Western countries tiring in their support, predicted Monday that Western war fatigue “will grow”.Germany’s Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock called for a strategy to limit the fallout from an expected campaign of Russian strikes on Ukraine’s energy grid in the coming months as temperatures drop.
