Few senior politicians have traveled to Ukraine since the war began. Now EU Commission President von der Leyen wants to set an example with a meeting in Kyiv.
European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen will travel to Kyiv this week for a meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy. She will be accompanied by EU foreign policy chief Josep Borrell, her spokesman said on Twitter on Tuesday.
The meeting will take place before the donor conference planned for Saturday in Warsaw, at which money is to be collected for the millions of refugees and displaced persons from the Ukraine war. A spokeswoman did not want to name the exact day when asked.
The President of the European Parliament, Roberta Metsola, traveled to Kyiv last week. She met Zelenskyy and representatives of the Ukrainian government. During her visit, the Maltese assured Ukraine of extensive support from the EU. “We will help rebuild your cities,” she said.
Few senior politicians had traveled to the country since Russia’s war against Ukraine began on February 24. In mid-March, the heads of government from Poland, the Czech Republic and Slovenia traveled to Kyiv to show solidarity with Ukraine.
