Andrii Yermak, Head of the Office of the President of Ukraine, has outlined three crucial conditions for the EU, including political and financial pressure on Russia, which will help secure lasting peace in Ukraine.
Source Yermak in a column for The Guardia Quote First, Ukraine must be given security guarantees that lend credibility to a future ceasefire agreement.
Second, Europe must act decisively to strengthen and increase the sanctions against Russia.
And third, Europe should take control of the frozen Russian assets to enable continued and increased support for Ukraine. Details Yermak stated last weeks European Council meeting demonstrated that when united, Europe can take control of its own security and future.
