"We are organizing an extraordinary European Council on March 6 to discuss, first of all, how to strengthen our defense capabilities. Donald, the former president of the European Council, and I have already started preparing this council," Costa said.

He noted that Russia is a threat not only to Ukraine, but also to all of Europe. NATO's eastern flank is particularly vulnerable.

- It is a threat to European security as such, especially on the eastern border in Poland , the Baltic states, Romania and the entire eastern flank. It is a challenge for all of us. So we are building European defense, and the priority is clear - he said.

The second priority of the meeting is to be Ukraine and strengthening its position, not only during the ongoing conflict, but also in future stages.

- We support Ukraine , we have supported it and we will continue to support it. In war, in negotiations, in maintaining peace, in reconstruction and in accession to the European Union - he said.
