00:00Hello. Good evening. Earlier this month, after our informal meeting in Copenhagen, I said that today would be decision time.
00:12And we deliver on all fronts. And I would like to start to thank Ursula von der Leyen and the Commission for the excellent cooperation, once again, in the preparation of this European Council.
00:30Starting with Ukraine. We have said many times that we will support Ukraine as much as necessary for as long as it takes.
00:43Today, we reached three important agreements. First, European leaders committed to ensure that Ukraine's financial needs will be covered for the next two years.
01:00We have asked the Commission to put forward options as soon as possible, so that Ukraine has the resources it needs to continue defending itself and fight for a just and lasting peace in 2026 and 2027, if it's necessary.
01:22Russia should take good note of this. Ukraine will have the financial resources it needs to defend itself against Russia's aggression and in the possible future.
