“ The President of Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelenskyy, stated that the European Union undertook to provide financial assistance to Ukraine until 2027 inclusive, and confirmed the political will to use frozen Russian assets for the benefit of Ukraine. Source: Zelenskyi on social networks following the European Council meeting in Brussels Details: According to the head of state, one of the most important achievements of the summit was the unanimous decision of EU member states to maintain financial aid to Ukraine not only for next year, but also in 2027. Significant progress was also made in the issue of using frozen Russian assets. Zelensky reported that there is political support for the maximum direction of these funds to protect Ukraine from Russian aggression. Now the European Commission has to work out all the necessary technical and legal details for the implementation of this decision. The President also announced positive developments in strengthening Ukraine’s air defense. He noted that the details are currently not public, but there are “positive signals that indicate the readiness of partners” for operational cooperation with Ukrainian teams. In addition, substantive work is ongoing with partner countries to support the Ukrainian energy industry, in particular in matters of restoration of damaged facilities and supply of necessary resources. An important result of the summit was the final approval of the 19th package of EU sanctions against the Russian Federation. The President thanked for this decision and stated that Ukraine will synchronize this package in its own jurisdiction. At the same time, he called on other non-EU European countries, including Great Britain, Norway and Switzerland, to support these restrictive measures. Direct language: “Of course, we are already starting to work with the European Union on the next sanctions package – Russia must feel real losses from its war. The American sanctions decision on Russian oil companies is also very effective – it is important that everyone in Europe supports the course of limiting Russian supplies. And we are already starting to work on the next one. Our partners hear us and take our proposals into account. Everyone is simply tired of the fact that Russia constantly fools the world and thinks that they will get nothing for it there, in Moscow.” Background: On October 23, the summit of the European Council approved conclusions regarding Ukraine, which confirm the commitment of the European Union to ensuring the financial and military needs of Ukraine in 2026-27: the document was voted for by 26 EU states out of 27. As reported by “Evropeyska Pravda”, Hungary did not support a similar document based on the results of the EU summit in June 2025. Similarly, Orban boycotted the conclusions regarding Ukraine at the regular EU Council in March 2025, and at the extraordinary one in the same month.”, — write: www.pravda.com.ua
