The Ukrainian agenda at the Dublin summit: financial support for Kyiv and new sanctions against Moscow

One of the main topics of discussion at the Dublin summit of the European Political Community was the cessation of the military conflict in Ukraine and ensuring the country's security in the future.

As reported by Baku TV, the speeches of European leaders showed that the continuation of political, financial, and military support for Kyiv is among Europe's priorities.

European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen stated that a proposal is being prepared aimed at meeting Ukraine's financial needs in 2027. According to her, proposals for financing Ukraine, as well as the 22nd package of sanctions against Russia, will be presented before the next meeting of European Union leaders.

European Council President António Costa, in turn, emphasized that Europe's security is inseparably linked to Ukraine's security. He noted that to achieve a just and lasting peace, it is important to defend Ukraine's right to independently choose its partners and determine its own future. According to Costa, achieving a ceasefire and ensuring concrete progress in the Black Sea are among Europe's top priorities.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky expressed concern about issues of military and technological support. He reported that Ukraine has once again faced speed restrictions on Starshield systems in the occupied territories, which hampers the fight against Russian drones. Zelensky particularly emphasized that the occupation of Ukrainian territories must not be recognized in any form.

The Ukrainian leader appealed to partners for support in three areas. In particular, he called for ensuring the supply of missiles for air defense systems, ammunition for F-16 fighter jets, as well as providing the necessary assistance to Ukraine's energy sector during the winter period.

The speeches of the Dublin summit participants showed that the issue of ending the military conflict in Ukraine is closely linked to shaping Europe's future security architecture, ensuring regional stability, and maintaining a unified position of European countries regarding Russia.
