We welcome today’s news from Jeddah on the U.S.-Ukraine talks, including the proposal for a ceasefire agreement and the resumption of U.S. intelligence sharing and security assistance.

This is a positive development that can be a step towards a comprehensive, just and lasting peace for Ukraine.

The ball is now in Russia’s court.

The EU is ready to play its full part, together with its partners, in the upcoming peace negotiations.

🇪🇺 The European Commission has disbursed an additional €1 billion tranche of its exceptional Macro-Financial Assistance (MFA) loan to Ukraine, to be repaid with proceeds from immobilised Russian State assets in the EU, reinforcing the EU's role as the largest donor since the beginning of Russia's war against Ukraine.

🇺🇦Єврокомісія переказала Україні ще 1 млрд євро в межах своєї частини кредиту від G7, який погашатиметься з доходів від знерухомлених російських активів.

"This morning, Russian cruelty struck again, killing men, women and children in the city of Sumy.

A barbaric attack, made even more vile as people gathered peacefully to celebrate Palm Sunday.

This latest escalation is a grim reminder:

Russia was and remains the aggressor, in blatant violation of international law.

Strong measures are urgently needed to enforce a ceasefire. Europe will continue to reach out to partners and maintain strong pressure on Russia until the bloodshed ends and a just and lasting peace is achieved, on Ukraine’s terms and conditions.

The victims of today’s attack, their families, and all Ukrainians are in our hearts. Today and every day.

Europe stands with Ukraine and President Zelenskyy"

We've disbursed the fourth tranche of our exceptional Macro-Financial Assistance loan to Ukraine, worth €1 billion.

These loans will support military expenditure needed in the coming weeks and month.

Our total lending to Ukraine under this initiative has reached €6 billion since the start of 2025.

The loans will be repaid with proceeds from immobilised Russian state assets in the EU.

The EU is reaffirming its role as Ukraine’s largest donor since the full-scale invasion.

“Today, the Coalition of the Willing convened.

We support the proposal for a full and unconditional 30-day ceasefire.

It must be implemented without preconditions to pave the way for meaningful peace negotiations.

The ball is now in Russia’s court.

We stand ready to maintain strong pressure on Russia and impose further biting sanctions in the event of a breach of a ceasefire.

Our objective is clear: a just and lasting peace for Ukraine, which is vital for security and stability across our continent”.

🇪🇺 “I welcome the agreement on our 17th sanctions package against Russia.

We are further restricting access to battlefield technology.

And we have listed an additional 189 shadow fleet vessels to target Russia's energy exports.

This war has to end. We will keep the pressure high on the Kremlin”.

💬 President von der Leyen


🇺🇦«Вітаю домовленість щодо 17-го пакету санкцій проти РФ.

Ми дедалі більше обмежуємо доступ до військових технологій.

Ми додали до списку ще 189 суден тіньового флоту, аби охопити експорт енергоносіїв із Росії.

Ця війна має закінчитися. Ми продовжуватимемо чинити сильний тиск на Кремль»

We welcome the adoption of the 17th package of sanctions against Russia.

The new EU sanctions make it more costly for Russia to continue its war, increasing pressure on its already strained and fragile economy:

📋 75 new listings:

17 individuals
58 entities

Targets include military and defence actors, shadow fleet enablers, cultural heritage looters, and a Russian shipping company.

🚢 189 new vessels added to the shadow fleet list, now banned from EU ports and services.
Total listed: 342.

⚙️ New export bans on:

Chemical precursors used in missile propellants (e.g., sodium/potassium chlorate, aluminium/magnesium/boron powders).

Spare parts for CNC machine tools (e.g., ball screws, encoders).

"Good discussion with Senator Lindsey Graham.

The EU is preparing its 18th package of hard-biting sanctions, including lowering the crude oil price cap.

These steps, taken together with US measures, would sharply increase the joint impact of our sanctions".

The European Commission is proposing to prolong the temporary protection for people fleeing Russia's aggression against Ukraine for an additional year until 4 March 2027.

This will provide legal certainty to those enjoying temporary protection and to EU countries, ensuring that the same standards of protection continue to apply across the EU. It will also reassure displaced people from Ukraine that applying for international protection is not necessary nor required.

Today, the Commission is also setting out a common European path for the future of Ukrainian refugees in the EU. To offer a more stable and lasting perspective, the Commission is proposing to EU Member States to prepare for a coordinated transition out of temporary protection.

Our Council Recommendation includes the following measures ⬇️

▪️To promote and facilitate the transition into other legal statuses: many of those enjoying temporary protection have integrated into their host societies by learning the language, finding employment or following education. They should have the possibility to transition into national or EU legal statuses that better reflect their new situation. These could be residence permits based on employment, education, research, or a national long-term resident status.

▪️To pave the way for a gradual return and sustainable reintegration in Ukraine taking into account the needs and capacity of Ukraine: Allowing exploratory visits to Ukraine could help those considering a return home to make informed decisions. Member States should also set upvoluntary return programmes in close coordination with the Ukrainian authorities to allow for a gradual return home when temporary protection ends.

▪️Better information about available options: The Commission supports the establishment of Unity Hubs in Member States, in collaboration with the Ukrainian authorities. Unity Hubs will serve as multipurpose information centres for both the integration of displaced people in host societies and for returns to Ukraine. They can be financed with the help of Commission funding under the Asylum, Migration and Integration fund (AMIF). To support Member States, the Commission will also appoint a Special Envoy for Ukrainians in the EU.

▪️Coordination and information exchange between Member States and Ukraine:Information exchange between Member States should continue through the Solidarity Platform, and by timely updating data in the Temporary Protection Registration Platform. The EU Migration Preparedness and Crisis Blueprint Network with a focus on Ukraine, and the Solidarity Platform Ukraine will continue to provide a common situational awareness and a coordinated response.

We are proposing to integrate Ukraine into the EU Roaming area starting January 2026.

Ukrainian phone numbers will be able to roam at no extra cost across the 27 EU countries, with the same benefits extended to EU citizens in Ukraine.

We want Ukrainian citizens to stay connected to their loved ones across the EU, as well as in their home country.

Once more, we reaffirm our continued commitment to stand with Ukraine and its citizens.

Under relentless fire, Ukraine is passing reform after reform.

This is why the Commission defends the opening of the first cluster of negotiation.

Ukraine has delivered – now we must too.

Because the accession process is based on merit.

And Ukraine merits moving forward.
