The leaders of the European Union call on all countries to immediately stop any support for Russia in its aggressive war against Ukraine.

The corresponding call is contained in the conclusions of the meeting of the European Council regarding the document concerning Ukraine, published in Brussels on Thursday.

In particular, the European Council strongly condemned the support of third countries, as well as actors and organizations in them, which allow Russia to continue its aggressive war against Ukraine.

The European Council stated that the arms transfers and deepening military cooperation between Russia and the DPRK and Iran, as well as the deployment of the DPRK’s military forces to Russia and their use on the battlefield against Ukraine represent an international escalation of the war, with serious consequences for international peace and security.

“The European Council urges all countries to immediately cease any direct or indirect assistance to Russia in its war of aggression against Ukraine,” the document reads.
