00:00Just a few weeks before Donald Trump begins his second term as President of the United States,
00:06EU leaders are meeting in Brussels for their last summit of the year to discuss
00:10how they can help Ukraine if the U.S. withdraws its support.
00:14The Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has called for united support from both sides of the Atlantic.
00:20Good morning.
00:22We need very much unity between the United States and EU and countries of Europe.
00:30This is very important. We need this unity to achieve peace.
00:35I think only together the United States and Europe can really stop Putin and save Ukraine.
00:41But trying to do too much too soon might not help Ukraine,
00:44whose invasion by Russia will soon reach its three-year anniversary.
00:48According to the EU's new foreign policy chief, Bashar al-Assad's swift downfall in Syria is important in this context.
00:55Any push for negotiations too soon will actually be a bad deal for Ukraine.
01:02All the other actors in the world are carefully watching how we act in this case
01:08and therefore we really need to be strong.
01:11Syria shows us that Russia is not invincible and we shouldn't underestimate our own power.
01:17Aside from Ukraine, the EU's 27 leaders will also discuss the situation in Syria.
