The diplomatic ferment over the Russian attack on Ukraine is feverish.
A teleconference of EU Foreign Ministers tomorrow Sunday at 19:00 (Cyprus time) has been called by EU High Representative Josep Borel.
"I am convening a teleconference of EU Foreign Ministers tomorrow at 18:00 to adopt further measures to support Ukraine against Russian aggression. I will propose an emergency aid package for the Ukrainian armed forces to support them in their heroic struggle," he said in his Twitter post.
EU foreign ministers are expected to meet by teleconference on Sunday to discuss the blocking of Russia from the international payment system SWIFT, a European official earlier told APA-MPA.
