Everyone, this is the very important and decisive day for Europe to show that we are resolute,

to show that we are strong and united in supporting Ukraine and

in doing what we promised to do with concerns pressure on Russia.

So there are certain moments and decisions important.

First of all, we have to proceed and move forward with the 19 sanctions package.

We cannot wait and delay any longer. Now this is the perfect time.

There are still sectors that were uncovered by the 19th package that is energy, that is finances,

and that is also tariffs on the Russian and Belarusian goods,

so we have To work on this already for the 20 sanctions package.

Second and also very important,

we have to give up our dependency on Russia's oil and gas repower Europe.

We have to agree on it and proceed further.

The deadlines that are set right now, they are for too long period.

But anyways, we have to make a decision because otherwise we're weak in convincing the other.

The others have to do the same.

The third element that is really important is to proceed and come over the EPF money 6.6 billion.

Each time I come here and I repeat it to you,

we have to unfreeze it and use it for pearl mechanism to support Ukraine. That is crucial.

The other element, and that is the midterm of Danish presidency, we have to open the cluster.

For Ukraine and Moldova, these countries that we promised and they belong to

the European Union and they have to get the proper process of accession.

So these are important things for us today and also it's important today to also send the

message that is very clear from Lithuania that there is no place for war criminals in Europe.

There is no way through Europe for war criminals to any events, and this is this is the very important thing also for

us to underline and stress again we are in strong support

of Ukraine and we are continuing with our continued pressure on Russia.

Talking about pressure on Russia and supporting on Europe, we really welcome the proposal.

European Commission on reparations loans system and we are looking forward to assisting.

Trump wants to meet Putin in Budapest and Orban, an EU leader, is hosting this,

so isn't this a slap in the face for the Europeans. We can combine these two things.

One, the efforts of President Trump, diplomatic efforts to achieve the ceasefire and to achieve the peace.

On the other hand, we have to hold the principles of Europe that we all agreed, and the only place for Putin in Europe that's in The Hague,

in front of the tribunal, not in any of our capitals, and this is very clear.

Taking action to prevent Putin from visiting Budapest.

I cannot imagine him crossing our airspace. That's one of the things.

There are other ways, you know, if he wants to get there,

but I would look for the alternatives frozen assets

on the accelerating fading out Russian oil and gas.

There is in particular one country is all the time blocking, that's Slovakia.

So how do you deal with that?

This is this is upsetting and we have to agree strategically that we cannot depend on our adversaries.

This is absolutely, absolutely cannot understand this and in these efforts,

the other countries, the other EU member states are ready to assist.

And I heard so many times our colleagues providing the different routes for the

oil and natural gas to reach Hungary and Slovakia, so we should use it.

We cannot say that dependency on our adversary is something that we want to

cherish and to rely on what concerns loans loan mechanism,

the proposal is really good. That was something that.

Standing for a long time now we see that this very design is a bit softer from the one that we proposed. It's not seizing.

It's using those assets and employing them for the needs of Ukraine, and those needs are true.

That is reconstruction and of course the defense needs.

And now is the right time to proceed further.

I'm really happy that we are working on it.

Thank you. Mr.
