"I am convening a virtual meeting of EU Foreign Ministers tomorrow at 18.00 to adopt further measures in support of #Ukraine, against aggression by #Russia. I will propose a package of emergency assistance for the Ukrainian armed forces, to support them in their heroic fight," Borrell tweeted.

We also condemn the involvement of Belarus in this aggression against Ukraine and call on it to abide by its international obligations," the EU said in a statement.
