00:00These are among the darkest hour for Europe since the end of World War II.
00:08A major nuclear power has attacked a neighbor country
00:13and is threatening reprisals of any other states that may come to its rescue.
00:22This is not only the greatest violation of international law,
00:27it's a violation of the basic principles of human coexistence.
00:33It's costing many lives with unknown consequences ahead of us.
00:41The European Union will respond in the strongest possible terms.
00:46President of the European Council, President Michel,
00:50has called for a meeting of the European Council this evening
00:55and they will agree and provide political guidance to adopt the stronger package,
01:02the harshest package of sanctions we have ever implemented.
01:09As High Representative for the Foreign Affairs and Security Policy of the European Union,
01:15I will be in touch with our partners around the world to ensure the international community will be fully grasping
01:24the gravity of the moment
01:26and to call strongly and united on Russia to cease immediately this behavior, intolerable behavior,
01:36and Russian leadership will face unprecedented isolation.
01:42This is not a question of blocks.
01:45This is not a question of diplomatic power games.
01:48It's a matter of life and death.
01:52It's about the future of our global community.
01:56And we will stand united with our transatlantic partners and with all European nations in defending this position.
02:06We stand united in saying that no violence and destruction has means to obtain political gains.
02:16We, the European Union, remain the stronger group of nations in the world, and this should not be underestimated.
02:24More immediately, we will be designing urgent assistance to Ukraine in this dire situation.
02:33We will also be active in supporting evacuations operations, including our own staff in zones affected by this Russian attack.
02:45The European Union, together with transatlantic and like-minded partners, have made unprecedented efforts to achieve a diplomatic solution to
02:57the security crisis caused by Russia.
03:00But Russia has not reciprocated these efforts and instead has opted unilaterally for a grave and premeditated escalation conducting to
03:15war.
03:16President Putin needs to stop this senseless aggression.
03:23And today, our thoughts are with the people of Ukraine.
03:28We will stand with them.
03:30hemos concretizgy in this letter.
03:30Please come here.
03:30We'll stand together.
03:30Rules, sir.
03:31We will stand and act like This.
03:31We need capacity again.
03:31The European Union
03:31The European Union consists of the same person.
