According to the European Union’s foreign policy head, Kaza Kalas, the purpose of Russia’s energy sector will be the most effective in curbing the ability to wage war against Ukraine and measures.
This week Russia’s attack on Kiev, which also damaged the Representative offices of the European Union in the capital, is another reason to increase the pressure on Russia, Kalas told reporters in Copenhagen before an informal meeting of defense ministers in Copenhagen on Friday.
Bloomberg had earlier reported that the European Union is reducing the use of secondary sanctions to help the third countries from helping the Kremlin to help the current punishment of the block, as well as more measures on the country’s oil and gas and financial areas.
“We are working on the next package, there are many options on the table,” Kalas said. “Of course, what hurts them the most is any restriction on energy and secondary restrictions that Americans have examples, but also financial services.”
On Saturday, foreign ministers are expected to discuss the use of the so-called anti-circulatory tools adopted in 2023, but it has not been used yet. This device may ban, supply, supply or transfer of some goods in third countries that are considered on the basis of restrictions.
They will also discuss the 19th package of Bloc’s sanctions, which is now expected to focus on the forced abduction of Russia’s Ukrainian children.
Kalas said that the European Union is contributing to Ukraine’s war attempt with “Training Mission, a military mission and support of the defense industry” in the European Union Ukraine’s war attempt.
He said, “We are discussing today how to change the mandate of all those missions to get ready after any peace agreement,” he said, the block will contribute to the security guarantee. It will train Ukrainian soldiers in the country, and not outside as has been done so far.
Belgian Defense Minister Theo Franken told reporters in Copenhagen that it was possible for his country to send soldiers to Ukraine after a ceasefire as Kiev’s associates continue to discuss how to secure the final peace.
For now, the main focus will be to protect itself to increase Ukraine’s ability as peace talks with Russia remain elusive. German Chancellor Frederick Merz said on Thursday that a meeting between Ukrainian President Volodimier Zelansky and Vladimir Putin of Russia is unlikely to be physical.
In addition, on Thursday, the Foreign Department approved the request to buy thousands of long -range missiles of Kiev up to $ 825 million and funded by the governments of Denmark, Netherlands and Norway, as well as America.
Danish Defense Minister Trolls Lund Paulsen said he referred to as “Danish model”, where the country shops produced inside Ukraine, but the funds are missing. He estimated that Ukraine has a production capacity of $ 17 billion which is not funded.
“Today, it is necessary to issue a clear call: very few countries are making sufficient contribution to strengthen Ukraine’s defense industry,” he said.
