European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen announced the plans in Dublin, where she was attending a meeting of the European Political Community, according to Dutch news agency ANP.
The proposed measures would form the EU’s 22nd sanctions package against Russia. It is not yet clear what the package will contain.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has said his country faces a €70 billion shortfall next year. The EU is already due to transfer €45 billion in 2027 from a previously pledged loan, but a gap remains in Ukraine’s budget.
Von der Leyen said the EU would continue to support Ukraine in wartime and in peace. Zelensky was also in Dublin and was due to meet US negotiators Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff on Thursday evening for talks on the ongoing peace negotiations.
