“Russia’s appalling cruelty is causing immense human suffering and massive displacement. I met today with Ukrainian refugees to listen to their stories, their situation and their needs. The EU stands with you. We will continue working to support you. Слава Україні!”
Josep Borrell, during his visit to Montenegro also stated that the EU is working on additional support for partners.
“We will also continue supporting you and the region on other consequences of the war of Russia against Ukraine, including food and energy security. And this is also the case of the recent position and sanctions that we introduced against the Russian leadership for their illegitimate war against Ukraine. But it comes, certainly, with difficulties. And we are committed to enhancing the resilience of Montenegro, and other Western Balkans partners to face the possible repercussions for these principled stances.”
