00:00Here, in Krivyi Rih, Russian airstrikes have once again left their mark, with dead and
00:05missing civilians.
00:07Others have had their homes destroyed.
00:09In the face of Moscow's advance, Ukraine's army continues to fight on, with European
00:14and American assistance.
00:17For the EU, this policy will not change.
00:21Victory of Ukraine is a priority for us all.
00:24The situation on the battlefield is very difficult.
00:27And that is why we must keep on working, every day, today, tomorrow and for as long
00:32as it takes, and with as much military, financial and humanitarian aid as needed.
00:40Despite these assurances from the EU, an all-out Ukrainian victory is becoming less certain,
00:45as Donald Trump names his new cabinet.
00:48The potential new Secretary of State, Marco Rubio, in the past said Ukraine should seek
00:53a negotiated settlement with Russia.
00:56They should not be focused on regaining lost territory.
01:00Faced with the prospect of a less supportive US administration, French President Emmanuel
01:05Macron stressed the need for Europe to take care of its own security.
01:09For too long, Europe has avoided bearing the burden of its own security.
01:16I am delighted that today we are all determined to spend more.
01:21Kiev and Europe at large do still have a couple more months of guaranteed American
01:26aid.
01:27The current US Secretary of State, Antony Blinken, is in Brussels this week to discuss
01:32what the US will provide before the new Trump presidency changes policy.
