/tass/. The European Union does not rule out providing support to the Ukrainian authorities if they try to regain control over the territories lost before February 24. This was reported on Tuesday by the Spanish newspaper ABC, citing sources in the European Commission (EC).
According to the publication, the EU can provide military assistance to Kiev if the goal of the Ukrainian leadership is to regain control over the territories lost before the start of the special operation in the country. According to the sources of the publication, European countries are helping Ukraine to resist the forces of Russia and the republics of Donbass, but "they (the authorities in Kiev - approx. TASS) decide how far." "We won't tell them what to do." "It is important to continue military support and even strengthen it," the EC said.
On February 24, the President of the Russian Federation announced a special operation in Ukraine in response to a request from the leaders of the Donbass republics for help. After that, the United States, the EU, the United Kingdom, as well as a number of other states imposed sanctions against Russian individuals and legal entities. In addition, Western countries have begun to supply weapons and military equipment to Kiev for amounts estimated at this stage in billions of dollars.
