German Foreign Minister Baerbock: It is now important to launch European financial support for Ukraine
According to Censor.NET, citing Ukrinform, German Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock said this before the EU Foreign Affairs Council in Brussels.
"The central task for us is not to stop our support for Ukraine despite all the turbulence in the world," Baerbock said.
German support is clear and unequivocal, she stated.
"Now is not the time for irresponsible games of individual actors here. For two years, the EU has clearly stood by Ukraine, which is also defending the European peace order, without any buts or ifs," the minister said. It is now important to launch European financial support, Baerbock added.
She reminded that the Minister for Foreign Affairs of Ukraine Dmytro Kuleba will speak at the beginning of the meeting in Brussels.
According to Baerbock, Ukraine and the situation in the Middle East are the central topics of the meeting. Regarding the latter, Baerbock said: "We see that throughout the Middle East, in Israel, people cannot live in peace until the Hamas terror is put to an end, until Hamas stops its brutal attacks not only against Israel, but also against its own people, the Palestinians. To do this, the most important thing is to destroy Hamas's funding network, the diplomat said. At the same time, humanitarian aid to the population of Gaza should be increased and humanitarian pauses should be introduced, Baerbock added.
