At a meeting with Ukrainian Prime Minister Denys Schmyhal on Monday, participants had to seek shelter after rockets fell in the Odessa region, EU sources said. Michel posted photos of his visit on Twitter, showing him with Schmyhal and other officials. “I came to celebrate Europe Day in Odessa,” wrote Michel.
According to EU sources, Michel visited the port of Odessa, where grain shipments are stuck due to the Russian blockade of the Black Sea. Alongside Shmyhal, he met the head of the Ukrainian Navy. The Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyj has meanwhile been added via video. The subject of the talks was, among other things, the planned solidarity fund for the reconstruction of Ukraine.
