EU can step up security policy support to Ukraine

An EU ad hoc civilian assessment mission visited Ukraine in the middle of May in response to the request of Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko, according to Maja Kocijancic, spokesperson for EU Foreign Affairs and Security Policy led by HRVP Federica Mogherini.

While in Ukraine, the mission visited key ministries and the Verkhovna Rada, she said.

"They have exchanged detailed views on wider options they would see as useful in terms of possible enhanced support, now the EU side will discuss these outcomes with the member states, and we will look at what possible direction could be taken," she said at a press briefing in Brussels on Tuesday.

She did not specify whether the point at issue is a peacekeeping mission or other ways support could be given to Ukraine.
