"The European Union and its Member States are in contact with Ukraine and are ready to provide additional technical assistance to eliminate this attack and further support against any destabilizing actions, in particular by further enhancing its resilience to hybrid and cyber threats. We reaffirm our unconditional support for Ukraine's sovereignty and territorial integrity within its internationally recognized borders", - he stressed.
