Taller plan dictatorial In the imports of oil by Russia, the president of her CommissionUrsula von der Layen, especially after Trump’s apparent turn relative to his attitude towards Russia and Ukraine, as reflected in yesterday’s (23.9.25), a statement from the UN Step, according to which Ukraine could lose.
A Commission spokesman, according to Bild, said that More details of the duties plan will be presented in due course. It does not need to be approved unanimously, but only by a special majority. This means that the Member States Council will require the approval of 15 of the 27 EU Member States, which account for at least 65% of the total EU population for its adoption.
It is recalled that her October 1, 2025, an extraordinary summit of EU leaders will be held on Ukraine and the Eastern Wing of NATO.
The plan of von der Laienne is also considered In response to the criticism of US President Donald Trump, who accuses Europeans of co -financed Russia’s aggressive war against Ukraine through ongoing energy markets.
Trump had also recently promised Europeans that he would be involved in new sanctions against Russia for its aggressive war against Ukraine if they completely stop energy markets from Russia.
However, Hungary and Slovakia have so far refused to resign from oil delivered through a pipeline from Russia. There is now an obvious hope that high EU import duties could persuade the two countries to review their position.
And this while the US president has set the possibility of concession from Ukraine. Now, Trump seems to change his attitude: Ukraine is capable of recovering her country – with the support of Western allies. According to Donald Trump, Ukraine is capable of recovering its territory from the Russian attacker with the help of Western allies. With time, patience and financial support, especially from NATO, the original borders since the start of the war are an option, the US president wrote on the Truth Social platform. Trump thus reverses his position, according to analysts. In recent weeks, in talks to end the war, Trump had also set the possibility of concession from Ukraine. Ukrainian President Volodimir Zelenski had repeatedly rejected it. Russia, however, insisted that Ukraine should recognize its territorial losses.
In his post on Truth Social, the US president did not clarify which Ukrainian border was mentioned. For example, it is not clear whether Trump also includes the Crimean peninsula, which was annexed by Russia in 2014, to Ukrainian territory. Trump says he took over his new position after becoming familiar and fully understanding the military and financial situation in Ukraine and Russia. Russia has been waging a war for three and a half years “which a real military force” could have won in less than a week. “This is not a honor for Russia. In fact, it makes the country look more like “a tiger without teeth”.
EU foreign policy leader Caya Callas welcomed Trump’s change. Asked in New York what EU’s reaction was, he said: “Everything is right. Yes, we must stop buying Russian energy. Yes, Ukraine must win the war. “ Callas also welcomed Trump’s other statements about Ukraine and Russia. “These were very clear statements we have never heard in this form.” Therefore, it is very good that they are on the same page now. European Commission President Ursula von der Laien also met with Trump in New York. Said that He agrees with the US president that Russia’s revenue from the sale of fossil fuels must be “reduced quickly”. Von der Lien referred to the proposals recently submitted by her committee, which aim to terminate all European fossil fuel imports from Russia.
