Andrii Sybiha welcomed the 15th package of EU sanctions against Russia and urged to continue pressure and increase the cost of war for the aggressor
16 December 2024 12:35

On Monday, December 16, Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha took part online in a meeting of the EU Foreign Affairs Council, where he expressed gratitude to European partners for adopting the 15th package of sanctions against Russia and increasing pressure on Moscow's shadow fleet.

Andrii Sybiha called on allies to continue increasing the cost of war for the aggressor and its economy.

“We should continue to increase pressure through sectoral sanctions against Russian metallurgy, energy and other vital sectors. The lower the oil prices and energy profits for Russia, the closer a just peace will be,” the minister stressed.

The Foreign Minister informed his European colleagues about the priority military needs of the Ukrainian Defense Forces. In particular, he emphasized the critical need to obtain 20 additional air defense systems of the HAWK, NASAMS or IRIS-T class, as well as more MANPADS, artillery systems and ammunition, long-range missiles, electronic warfare equipment, engineering equipment, drones and other equipment.

The Minister also called on partners to invest in the Ukrainian defense industry, emphasizing that this is the fastest and most effective way to strengthen Ukraine's defense capabilities.

Andrii Sybiha stated that the events in Syria have once again shown that Russia is not as strong as it seems.

“The events in Syria are a spectacular failure of the Kremlin, which demonstrates that Russia is capable of suffering defeats and retreating. It can and must be forced to make peace. This is possible only with our strength and unity,” he noted.

The Foreign Minister expressed gratitude to the European allies for their support for Ukraine during this important year and called for maintaining unity in order to achieve peace through strength.
