Charles Michel said that supporting Ukraine means supporting the future of the Ukrainian people, as well as "supporting our own security and prosperity."
Michel calls on the US to provide $60 billion in aid to Ukraine
The President of the European Council, Charles Michel, called on the United States to approve the $60 billion in assistance to Ukraine as soon as possible.
The EU Council press service reported this.
And I want to say this here with great solemnity to those who occasionally try to instil doubts or suspicions. Every European euro mobilised to support Ukraine is a euro invested in our security and prosperity. This is the euro, invested in the stability of the European Union, said the head of the EU Council.

He emphasised that the decision of the European Council to provide 50 billion euros to Ukraine is a "message to all those who, like us, believe in democratic values and the values of freedom."
This is also a message to our partners who are on our side to support Ukraine and the Ukrainian people. I would like to use this opportunity to address with you the US House of Representatives with a solemn appeal to quickly allocate the 60 billion dollars needed to ensure the financial stability of Ukraine, — said Michel.
US aid to Ukraine
The US Senate presented a new draft law on aid to Ukraine. It combines the allocation of funds to help Ukraine and Israel and to strengthen the southern border of the USA.
Biden spoke sharply about the draft law on aid to Israel without Ukraine.
US President Joe Biden also proposed to Congress that 106 billion dollars be allocated to help Ukraine and Israel. But the issue has not been resolved yet.
