The European Union and allies must match the intense diplomatic activity to end Russia's war in Ukraine with increased "practical work" to provide Kyiv with security pledges including a NATO's Article 5-like guarantee, António Costa said on Tuesday.
"After three and a half years of war, diplomatic activity is accelerating and there is growing momentum around providing Ukraine with security guarantees including the agreement of the US President Trump to participate in this effort," the European Council chief told reporters following back-to-back virtual meetings of the so-called "Coalition of the Willing" and EU leaders.
