On the third anniversary of Russia’s attack on Ukraine the EU is once again demonstrating its support for the embattled country. By travelling to Ukraine the EU leaders are also sending a signal to Washington.
In an interview with the European Newsroom (enr), EU foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas talked about a recent flashpoint in Africa – and if and how the EU needs to adapt its development work policies after President Trump slashed US aid programmes.
US President Trump’s decision to halt overseas aid payments cannot be automatically compensated by the EU, the bloc’s top diplomat says.
February 24 marks the two-year anniversary of Vladimir Putin’s troops invading Ukraine. It comes as Ukrainian forces are losing ground and the future of support from their key ally USA remains in doubt. The EU agreed on the 13th round of sanctions, also aiming at presenting its framework for EU accession talks with Ukraine by the “beginning of summer”.
