“This month, the European Union will provide Ukraine with an additional 4,2 billion euros to support the Ukrainian budget. On top of this, starting next month, we plan to provide, for a full year, every month, 1,5 billion euros of assistance. This money comes from the proceeds of Russia's frozen assets and can also be used for military purposes.”

“We've reached the breaking point. Now it's the moment when member states have to decide: we go and we support. The Russians are pushing a lot. The Russians are not waiting for negotiations. Russia continues pushing slowly but continuously. The situation on the frontline is not good (but) the Ukrainians resist. The Russian superiority continues. They have been provided by North Korea much more than we have been able to provide to the Ukrainians. I have to recognise: is Russia politically isolated? Certainly not. How many people went to Kazan? I can't frankly say that Russia is becoming isolated in the international community.”

“Trump has been very clear that Europeans need to ramp up their defence spending even further. He wants a three percent of GDP pledge and we can expect him to push this hard. Europeans have long recognised the need to step up on security and defence, but this realisation has not been matched by resources or true political will. The systemic threat that Russia poses to European security makes this shift extremely urgent if American engagement decreases. The first thing Europe needs to do now is to take the lead in supporting Ukraine towards victory against Russia. Europe will also be up against opposition to autonomy from Trump. He does not want the European defence market to become autonomous, which is a prerequisite for European strategic autonomy. Rather, we saw during the previous Trump administration that he pushed Europeans to buy more American defence material. Neither has he expressed any wish for the Europeans to develop their own nuclear deterrence, another necessary condition for European strategic autonomy.”

“The second reason for our meeting today is that the Commission has just paid to Ukraine a first tranche of EUR 4.5 billion from the Facility. It is the very first time that there is a disbursement now. This payment, in the form of a bridge financing, is crucial to help you maintain the functioning of the state in this very difficult moment. In April, once Ukraine fulfils the conditions we agreed upon, we will make a second disbursement of the bridge financing of EUR 1.5 billion. So today is a good day for Ukraine. Funds are flowing to meet urgent needs. And the country has laid a solid foundation for the EU's support, right up until the end of 2027.”

“Europe faces a dilemma in aiding Ukraine: Providing assistance requires significant financial commitment, and there is considerable opposition within Europe; however, refraining from giving aid would completely undermine years of political correctness. Europe will still provide assistance to Ukraine, but the extent and speed of aid will be reduced. The previously approved 50 billion euro aid package may not be implemented as quickly as anticipated. Regardless of how the situation unfolds in the future, the European powers will not be dragged into conflicts. Zelensky has gained the support of the European powers he desired, achieving a win-win situation with a document that holds little substance.”

“This guarantees funding for four years, so it gives a longer-term sense of security. There's also a lot of talk here about some of these funds going into an investment fund to try to attract private sector investment.”

“I am confident that the United States will not let us down and that what we have agreed upon with the United States will be fully implemented. As for the [EU's] 50 billion euros, I'm confident that a decision will be made in the very near future when they convene. It has been arranged in a way that … there are other mechanisms in place to ensure that Ukraine receives these 50 billion.”
