The main task of the European Union in the field of security in relation to Ukraine is its membership in the EU.

What is the most important obligation of the European Union to Ukraine

The diplomat said that the most important geopolitical issues facing the EU today are related to Ukraine, the Gaza Strip, the Global South and defense. "We must increase and provide Ukraine with security commitments," he said.

At the same time, Borrell emphasized that "the most important security commitment for Ukraine is membership" in the European Union.

Accession of Ukraine to the European Union

In December 2023, the European Union approved the start of membership negotiations with Ukraine. Then the European Commission recommended to approve the organizational aspects for the negotiation process.

And on January 17, the European Commission started working on the draft organizational framework for the opening negotiations with Ukraine.

On January 26, the President of Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelenskyi, announced that the European Union had officially begun screening Ukrainian legislation.

Yes or no. Ukraine's allies have made a clear demand to Putin

Putin must give a clear answer

Ukraine's allies in the "Coalition of the Determined" have officially confirmed that they are already developing options for monitoring the ceasefire between Russia and Ukraine. Against this background, they have begun demanding that Russian dictator Vladimir Putin clearly respond to US President Donald Trump's ceasefire proposal - to accept or reject it.

Points of attention

  • Paris and London are collaborating with the US on proposing ceasefire monitoring scenarios, emphasizing the importance of a quick response from Russia.
  • Barrot highlights the significance of Ukraine's acceptance of the US ceasefire proposal, calling for a swift response from Putin, whether affirmative or negative.

Putin must give a clear answer

The statement on this occasion was made by the head of French diplomacy, Jean-Noel Barrot, at a joint press conference with his British counterpart, David Lemmy.

According to the diplomat, on April 4, the military leadership of several countries participating in the "coalition of the determined" will arrive in Ukraine.

The main goal of this meeting is to discuss options for security guarantees with the Ukrainians.

The head of the French Foreign Ministry draws attention to the fact that a powerful Ukrainian army should be the first level of guaranteeing peace.

That is why our military command will be in Kyiv today," Barro emphasized.

He also confirmed that Paris and London are in contact with the US, proposing scenarios for monitoring the ceasefire.

As the diplomat noted, Ukraine "made an important concession" when it agreed to the US proposal for an unconditional ceasefire.

Now Russia must respond to the US proposal. Whether it is a "yes" or "no" answer, it must be a quick one.
