Any new agreement on fossil fuels with Ukraine must comply with European law, stated Germany’s Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock during her visit to Kyiv on April 1, 2025. When asked about the potential fossil fuel agreement between Ukraine and the United States, Baerbock emphasized that Europe has already established an agreement with Ukraine and any future deal must adhere to European Union regulations. “After all, this is our European continent… we are naturally in dialogue with all relevant parties accordingly,” she added.
