Russia’s threats will not stop European support for Ukraine; EU delegation remains in Kyiv, - Maternova
The European Union’s Ambassador to Ukraine, Katarina Maternová, has responded to Moscow’s threats against diplomats, emphasising that the EU delegation will remain in Kyiv.
She wrote about this on social media platform X, according to Censor.NET.
"We are staying"
"Russia has a message for foreign diplomats in Kyiv: leave or risk your lives. Our response: we are staying. The EU delegation is staying," she emphasised.
Maternová added that threats against diplomats will not stop Europe’s support for Ukraine: "They merely remind us why this support is important!"
What led up to this
