Details: Maasikas has pointed out that the European Union had to become a real geopolitical figure and take a firm stance in order to correspond with its own declared values after Russia’s open invasion of Ukraine. The Ambassador has highlighted once again how the Union helped Ukraine: with sanctions against the aggressor, financial and other aid, as well as giving shelter to Ukrainians who fled their country because of the war and the EU decision to get rid of the addiction to Russian energy resources.
"I do not see any signs of our member countries weakening in their support for those who are saving themselves from Russia’s full-scale invasion," Maasikas stated.
Background: EU leaders, despite all complications, have reached an agreement to allocate €18 billion of macro financial aid for Ukraine in 2023.
