Unity between the US and the EU is necessary to achieve peace in Ukraine, Reuters reported, citing a statement by President Volodymyr Zelensky made upon arrival for a meeting of European leaders in Brussels, BTA reported.
"This is very important for us, especially from the very beginning of next year. We really need unity between the US and the EU and the countries of Europe," Zelensky stressed. "We need this unity to achieve peace. I think that only together – the US and Europe – we can really stop Putin and save Ukraine".
Protecting the Ukrainian energy sector, increasing Ukrainian arms production and urgent assistance to the education system will be part of the agenda during the visit, the Ukrainian president added.
Ukraine is not receiving enough aid to win the war, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said during an online conversation with readers of the French newspaper "Parisien", Ukrinform reported.
At the same time, partners are increasing Ukraine's production capabilities and equipping it with modern weapons, thus investing in the defense of Europe, the head of state added, quoted by the Ukrainian agency.
"If the war continues, this does not mean that there is too much aid for Ukraine. On the contrary, it means that the aid is not enough," Zelensky said. The Ukrainian president emphasized Ukraine's contribution to European defense investments, Ukrinform notes.
