The Foreign Affairs Council discussed the Russian aggression against Ukraine. The discussion started with a VTC intervention of the Ukrainian Minister of Foreign Affairs, Andrii Sybiha, who provided an overview of the situation on the ground, Ukraine’s most urgent priorities, and recent diplomatic developments.

The ensuing EU27 discussion focused first on Russian massive attacks on Ukraine’s energy infrastructure and the need to provide Ukraine with energy support.

"It was a war crime to attack civilian infrastructure like energy infrastructure, hospitals, schools, apartment buildings. Russia is failing to win on the battlefield, so it tries to weaponise the winter. Now, energy is the new front line. The EU is responding with the biggest ever winter aid package."
Kaja Kallas
High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy and President of the Foreign Affairs Council
