The European Union is intensifying its support for Ukraine as U.S. President Donald Trump's discussions with Russia raise alarms in Kyiv and across Europe. EU foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas emphasized the urgency, stating, "We have to support Ukraine right now, more than ever," ahead of a key meeting of EU foreign ministers in Brussels.
On Monday, the EU approved its 16th sanctions package against Russia, targeting primary aluminum imports, gaming console sales, and 74 shadow fleet vessels used to bypass sanctions. Meanwhile, European leaders traveled to Kyiv to mark the third anniversary of Russia’s invasion, while France and the UK sent delegations to Washington to meet with Trump.
European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen confirmed that Ukraine would receive a €3.5 billion ($3.68 billion) payment in March, part of an ongoing aid package. She also highlighted the EU’s commitment to strengthening European arms production and defense capabilities to further support Ukraine.
Kallas, who is set to meet U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio, warned that any U.S.-Russia negotiations on ending the war must include Ukraine and Europe. "You can discuss whatever you want with Putin, but Ukraine and Europe must agree to any deal," she stated.
At the Brussels meeting, several foreign ministers wore blue and yellow in solidarity with Ukraine. Belgian Foreign Minister Maxime Prévot condemned attempts to equate Ukraine and Russia, asserting, "There is an aggressor and there is a victim." Spain’s Foreign Minister Jose Manuel Albares echoed this sentiment, reinforcing that Russia is solely responsible for the war.
With Trump's stance aligning with Russian narratives, EU leaders are pushing for a firm, united front in support of Ukraine, ensuring it remains central in any peace talks.
