She demanded that the capable countries of the Union urgently secure arms for Ukraine, as only they would be able to succeed in its struggle against Russia.

She noted that the European Union is preparing to impose a political package of sanctions on Russia, especially in the areas of banking and energy.

She stressed, “the need to do everything necessary to stop the war as soon as possible, but at the same time we must prepare ourselves for the fact that the war may continue for months or perhaps years.”

On February 24, Russia launched an attack on Ukraine, followed by international rejection and severe economic sanctions against Moscow.
