Since withdrawing from the Soviet Union in 1991, Ukraine has been keen to pursue its own path, including forging closer links with the rest of Europe.<\/p>\n

Ukraine\u2019s relations with Russia have been tense due to the latter\u2019s determination to keep the country within its sphere of influence. In 2014, Russia annexed Crimea in violation of international law, a move strongly condemned by the EU. It has also been waging a hybrid war against Ukraine, including economic pressure and disinformation attacks.<\/p>\n

With Ukraine coming under increasing pressure from Russia, the EU is keen to support Kyiv and forge closer links. Find out how the European Union has supported Ukraine since 2014:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Association agreement<\/h3>\n

In September 2014, the European Parliament gave its consent to the\u00a0EU-Ukraine Association agreement<\/a>, which includes a Deep and Comprehensive Free Trade Agreement. The deal established political association and economic integration between the EU and Ukraine and provided for mutual free market access.<\/p>\n

The agreement established ground rules for cooperation in areas including energy, transport, and education. It also required Ukraine to implement reforms and respect democratic principles, human rights and the rule of law.<\/p>\n

Visa<\/h3>\n

In April 2017, the European Parliament\u00a0supported<\/a>\u00a0an agreement to exempt Ukrainian citizens from EU short-stay visa requirements.<\/p>\n

Other support<\/h3>\n

There are various EU initiatives<\/a>\u00a0to support Ukraine\u2019s economy, aid its green transition and help the country to reform.<\/p>\n

Since 2014, more than \u20ac17 billion in grants and loans have been mobilised by the EU and financial institutions to support reforms in Ukraine, while applying conditionality dependent on their progress.<\/p>\n

Since 2015, more than 11,500 Ukrainian students have participated in the EU\u2019s popular Erasmus+ programme.<\/p>\n

Sakharov Prize<\/h3>\n

In 2018 Parliament awarded its Sakharov Prize for Freedom of Thought to\u00a0Oleg Sentsov<\/a>. The Ukrainian film director and human rights activist was imprisoned for protesting Russia\u2019s annexation of his native Crimea on Independence Square in Kyiv but released from jail on 7 September 2019 as part of a prisoner exchange deal between Russia and Ukraine.<\/p>\n

The following are some of the news published by the EDC of Almeria during the last weeks about the diplomatic crisis between Russia and the European Union.<\/p>\n

The Council decided on 13 December to prolong the restrictive measures currently targeting specific economic sectors of the Russian Federation by six months, until<\/strong>\u00a031 July 2022<\/strong>. The Council decision follows the latest assessment of the state of implementation of the\u00a0Minsk agreements<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 initially foreseen to happen by 31 December 2015 \u2013 at the European Council of 16 December 2021.<\/p>\n

In addition to economic sanctions, the EU has in place different types of measures in response to Russia\u2019s illegal annexation of Crimea and the city of Sevastopol and the deliberate destabilization of Ukraine. These include diplomatic measures, individual restrictive measures (asset freezes and travel restrictions), and specific restrictions on economic relations with Crimea and Sevastopol.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The President of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen, addressed the Davos Forum on January 20 with a speech on the main challenges in the world today. In her speech, the President reaffirmed the EU’s solidarity with Ukraine and European partners threatened by Russia. She stressed that the EU continues to support the fundamental principle that Ukraine is free to decide as a sovereign state: “To be clear: we want dialogue; we want conflicts to be resolved in the bodies that have been formed for this purpose. But if the situation deteriorates, if there are further attacks on Ukraine’s territorial integrity, we will respond with massive economic and financial sanctions. The transatlantic community stands firm on this. The EU is by far Russia’s largest trading partner and largest investor. And yes, this trade relationship is important for us, but it is much more important for Russia. We hope that an attack will not happen, but if it does, we are prepared.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
