Speaking at a joint press conference with <strong>European Council President Ant\u00f3nio Costa<\/strong> and <strong>European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen<\/strong>, Zelenskyy emphasized that the sanctions are a form of diplomacy Russia understands.<\/p>\n   <p>The leaders also discussed <strong>accelerating the \u20ac90 billion EU credit for Ukraine<\/strong> for 2026\u20132027, aimed at supporting energy security, modernizing military capabilities, and sustaining the country amid ongoing Russian attacks. Zelenskyy highlighted the need to coordinate <strong>air defense and energy infrastructure support<\/strong>, and praised the European Commission for joining the implementation of Ukraine\u2019s updated Energy Strategy.<\/p>\n   <p>President von der Leyen confirmed that the <strong>EU is committed to providing the \u20ac90 billion credit \u201cin one way or another\u201d<\/strong>, noting that EU member states have already approved the decision. She added that European funding would support <strong>modern weaponry and a first priority package of drones and ammunition<\/strong>, with delivery targeted before Easter. Von der Leyen also announced that Ukraine and partners will hold a <strong>\u201cEnergy Ramstein\u201d coordination meeting in March<\/strong> to streamline support and supplies.<\/p>\n   <p>On energy infrastructure, President Costa and Zelenskyy agreed that Ukraine will soon <strong>assess the time required to repair the Russia-damaged Druzhba pipeline<\/strong>. Zelenskyy stressed that linking the credit disbursement to pipeline restoration is inappropriate, noting that <strong>Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orb\u00e1n should address energy ceasefire requests directly to Russian President Vladimir Putin<\/strong>, as Russia repeatedly targeted Ukraine\u2019s critical pipelines.<\/p>\n   <p>Zelenskyy also underlined the importance of <strong>finalizing key geopolitical security guarantees<\/strong>, emphasizing the need for continued international support amid ongoing Russian aggression.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy expressed hope that the European Union\u2019s 20th sanctions &#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":67,"featured_media":1314748,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[49,36418,36415],"tags":[78],"sources":[],"class_list":["post-1314745","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news-en","category-11473-news-en-2","category-11473-news-en","tag-homepage-en"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.2 -
