Details: According to him, it is important that against the background of vile Russian attacks on Ukrainian energy, Europe demonstrates: Ukraine will have long-term support.

“This aid not only strengthens Ukraine in various directions, but also strengthens our position at the negotiating table. This is a significant contribution to the security of all of Europe and our common future,” the president noted.

We will remind:

• On Wednesday, February 4, at a meeting of the Committee of Permanent Representatives (Coreper), the ambassadors of the European Union states agreed on the mechanisms for providing Ukraine with a loan in the amount of 90 billion euros in 2026-27, in particular, allowing third countries to participate in this process.
• France and Germany had conflicting positions regarding the mechanisms for providing credit to Ukraine and the participation of third countries in it.
