BRUSSELS, November 24. /TASS/. The European Union wants to make decisions on anti-Russian sanctions and immobilized Russian assets jointly with the United States, European Council President Antonio Costa told reporters after the emergency EU summit on Ukraine in Angola.
"The issues that concern the European Union, such as sanctions, enlargements or immobilized assets, require the full involvement in decision[-making] by the European Union," he said.
Costa emphasized that the European Union is committed to providing Vladimir Zelensky "with all the support he needs - diplomatic support, military support, economic support."
In turn, European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen, who was also present at the media stakeout, reiterated the call to protect the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Ukraine.
She added that the EU insists on "Europe’s centrality in the country’s [Ukraine’s] future."
The heads of the European Council and the European Commission said that, in their view, the discussion on the proposed peace plan is developing in the right direction, although lots of questions still remain without an answer.
The next discussion on the matter will take place on Tuesday, during a video conference meeting of the "coalition of the willing."
No practical decisions or written statements were adopted during the EU summit on Ukraine.
