I have placed these topics at the top of our agenda for discussions next week among EU foreign and defence ministers.

The EU will also continue targeting Russia’s war economy. The next sanctions package against Moscow should be ready by next month.

The unity among EU leaders in today’s virtual Summit was palpable. Everyone is committed to a lasting peace that protects both Ukraine’s and Europe’s vital security interests.

In Washington D.C. talks advanced on strong security guarantees for Ukraine, ending the bloodshed, sanctions and the return of the abducted children. Our work and close cooperation continues.

Right after our discussion with the members of the European Council, I had a phone call with President Zelenskyy. I underlined the EU’s unity and unwavering support for Ukraine, as well as our commitment to maintaining pressure on Russia.

I have convened a video conference of the members of the European Council for tomorrow at 13.00 CEST, for a debriefing of today’s meetings in Washington DC about Ukraine.

We are here, as allies and friends, for peace in Ukraine and in Europe. This is an important moment, as we continue to work on strong security guarantees for Ukraine and a lasting and durable peace.
