- During a recent visit to Kyiv, EU officials emphasized that the European Union is providing unprecedented military assistance to Ukraine this year.
- The EU has already implemented sanctions that have cost Russia hundreds of billions of euros, with plans for new measures targeting energy and finance sectors.
- Kaja Kallas, the Estonian Prime Minister, highlighted the urgency of continuing support for Ukraine as Russias economy faces increasing pressures from international sanctions.
Why It Matters
