Europe and Ukraine are at a “decisive moment“, said European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen, who met with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, reported Agence France-Presse, quoted by BTA.
“Europe is facing a clear danger and must immediately take measures to protect itself and defend itself. "In addition, we must provide Ukraine with the means to defend itself and work for a just and lasting peace," she stressed at an open extraordinary EU meeting in Brussels.
Zelensky thanked European leaders for their support and expressed appreciation that Ukrainians are not alone in their fight against Russia, especially after the freeze on US military aid.
“We are very grateful that we are not alone. And this is not just in words. We feel it. It is very important that you sent a strong signal to the Ukrainian people,“ Zelensky said.
