All the problems of financial aid to Ukraine will be solved at the EU summit on February 1, the Lithuanian minister hopes.
There are good signals from the European Union regarding the allocation of financial assistance to Ukraine in the amount of 50 billion euros. Lithuanian Foreign Minister Gabrielius Landsbergis said this in an interview with RBC-Ukraine.
The diplomat hopes that all problems with Western financial assistance to Ukraine will be resolved at the EU summit on February 1.
“We are hearing good signals. You know that some vetoes are being lifted and new agreements are being concluded. What does this mean? Ukraine really has a very good external diplomatic system. Wherever I go, your people are real professionals, they do a good job. So I believe it can be expected,” said Landsbergis.
Answering the question of whether Europe on its own without the United States can provide Ukraine with sufficient financial and military assistance, the head of the Lithuanian Foreign Ministry noted that it is in the interest of European countries.
“I hope that for the sake of Europe, Europe will do everything it can. It is in our interests,” the Lithuanian minister said.
We remind you that the European Council summit will take place on February 1. Ukraine hopes that a positive decision will be made there to allocate financial support in the amount of 50 billion euros under the Ukraine Facility program.
As you know, Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban has threatened to block all EU aid to Ukraine, as well as further movement of our country in the bloc, if EU leaders do not agree to reconsider -consider their entire strategy for supporting Kyiv.
Orbán later said that Hungary would agree not to veto the €50 billion EU funding proposal for Ukraine, but that Brussels should unfreeze the €30 billion earmarked for Hungary.
