It would be a way for the EU to show its solidarity with Ukraine at a time of great tension with Russia.
The Ukrainian Foreign Minister, Dmitro Kuleba , today supported the idea of holding a Council of Foreign Ministers of the European Union in Kiev so that the Twenty-seven show their solidarity with Ukraine at a time of great tension with Russia due to the deployment of thousands of soldiers on the Russian border with the neighboring country.
In a message on his Twitter account, the head of Ukrainian diplomacy thanks his Romanian counterpart, Bogdan Aurescu, for raising this possibility at Monday’s meeting with the EU foreign ministers.
Dear friend @BogdanAurescu, thank you for this great idea. I called on Ukraine’s partners earlier in December to do exactly this: high-level visits to Ukraine in January-February. We’re ready to welcome EU foreign ministers in Kyiv for a meeting of EU Foreign Affairs Council #FAC https://t.co/5abI64wZXA

“Thank you for this great idea. I asked Ukraine’s partners at the beginning of December to do exactly this: high-level visits to Ukraine in January-February. We are ready to welcome the EU Foreign Ministers in Kiev for a meeting of the EU Foreign Affairs Council,” Kuleba wrote.
Aurescu tweeted Monday that he “suggested” in Brussels that “the possibility of organizing a meeting of the EU Council of Foreign Ministers in Kiev, in solidarity with Ukraine, be examined.”
