DW spoke with European Commission Vice President Frans Timmermans, who was in Kyiv for talks with Ukrainian Prime Minister Denys Shmyhal.
Timmermans said that “Ukraine deserves all our support.”
“The fact that the Ukrainian people fight with such determination and such passion for their freedom should be a clear signal to the European Union that we should support them with every means we have,” he said.
“I think it is a logical step undertaken by France, Germany and others to support Ukraine militarily with these armored personnel carriers,” he said, in reference to some of the latest weapons delivery pledges.

Long live Zelensky! May he become the torpedo that will sink the EU and UK to the bottom of the sea. The history of war repeats again in the white men's world. WW I and II, now leading to WW III. White men can't live without wars.
Germany are just talk
US blackmailed eu into this war to save the dollar they skrewed you .
It's taking the Germans too long to understand that Ukraine needs tanks now!!! Hundreds of Ukrainian soldiers are dying daily while Olaf dithers! What on earth are they waiting for?!?
not at all. "Your enemies are not my enemy " – N.Mandela
Today, Europe has cheap GAS from Russia, and tomorrow Yakut wears your wife holding a machine gun pointed at you! THINK it's like a Ukrainian I tell you!
this is a war for world domination and power. politicians want to dictate to others what they should do. how can anybody attack democracy and freedom in europe now that the eu is isolating itself?
Germans supporting fascism and killing lots of Slavs? We have seen this film before!
how can russia be a threat when it's so weak? all the mainstream media are saying that russia is weak a power in decline.
The correct wording would be the future of NATO. It has nothing to do with the EU.
Russia is one of the countries that has laws that go against some of Europe views hmm
Or it’s a civil war with Russia and US escalation.
Not just of Europe but also the World.
These so-called ethnic Russians were supported by Russia and actually suppressing Ukrainian inhabitants on their own territory! If they had used democratic means they would have got more power. But hey, the are Russians as you say: So they are armed rapists, thieves, murderers who came to" help" and destroy the so called" liberated" territories and massacre Ukranian civilians.
I guess your stupidity cannot be cured? And you deny this murderous action? How much does Putler pay you?
Russia is a terrorist country.
That's so called Eu's energy insecurity!
You can’t talk about future of Europe, without realising that Russians and Germans both deserve peace.
Its not a war about future of democracy. Its a war to maintain American hegemony, .. which by the way us dwindling with the Rise of China…
Europe's success and industrialisation was due to decades of cheap energy from Russia!!!! This narrative by this old chap is ridiculous.
Hmmm, I wish they had mastered the audio before uploading
This headless European leader wants the war to go on and on for the next 20 years. Europe should be ready to accept another 20 million Ukrainian beggars this winter.
It’s not a Ukrainian thing, but USA Germany and British war on Russia.
I wish this war becomes a world war. I want Europe to feel the heat of a nuclear weapon.
STOP DISCUSSING AND WORRYING!!!UKRAINE NEED REAL HELP TODAY AND NOW: AIRCRAFT, TANKS AND LONG-RANGE AMMUNITION!!!
Evil mindset US create conflict and war around the world.
This war is not about the future of Europe. This war is about the future of the Oekraïne. I hope that the war stops as soon as possible.
Money laundering
Germany and Russia should be peaceful trading partners – ukraine deserves trading support not military against russia will russia idly sit by and allow germany to militarily support the ukraine? this regime in ukraine will pass but russia's revenge against its local supportors will not likely
Its sure Russia will win .
Your weapons are very weak ..
Posedron awaiting for you
You are having only falls dimocracy
this guy goes home with salary and bribes you cannot dream of… and is telling you about the change of the energy policy. Big bull for us small people
In other words they want to use Ukrainian natural resources and it’s people for cheap labour and military. I wish Ukrainians just wake up and stop listening to these ruthless Capitalists, it’s all about business and profits for them, nothing more.
Stop inventing. This is the war of human stupidity. Yes, this war grew under the stupidity of European politicians.. And what is worse, they will never have the courage to admit that they made a mistake and be able to bring this war to an end.
Timmermans for President (of the World)!!
Totally agree..!
Today, after this unfair war ,against Ukraine..
WE ALL have to stand by Ukraine , !
WE ALL have to stand next to the worlds principals..!
IF , you all , hypocrite's of the world , standing the similar way ,..!
and I don't mean ,the military support ,..and next to my country Cyprus , showing to Turkey the right way , ..most probably ,Cyprus could of been free..!
FREE ..!
PS :.. the same situation ,Ukraine facing today , ! With Russia to claiming that all is doing is for the protection of the Russian minority in Ukraine ..!
The very same excuse , Turkey ,is still using for the occupation of the half almost of my country Cyprus..!
