Support for Ukraine ‘existential’, De Croo says

In his speech this morning, Belgium’s Alexander De Croo said Europe must continue supporting Kyiv.

We achieved unity and solidarity in the face of the Russian war of aggression against an innocent Ukraine. A solidarity we absolutely need to keep up, with the Ukraine facility and continued military support.
