Fiala: Ukraine top priority for second day of EU summit

EU leaders met for the second day of a summit on energy, the economy and Ukraine on Friday. Czech Prime Minister Petr Fiala said before the start of Friday's round of meetings that he considers Ukraine to be the most important point on the agenda, especially the issue of how to release the remaining three billion euros of approved aid to the country. He also said that stricter sanctions should be applied to Belarus, a country which, although not directly involved in the attack on Ukraine, does allow Russian forces to attack Ukrainian targets from its territory.
