Consultations with European Union diplomats

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky held a meeting with the full complement of EU country embassies in Ukraine. During this event, the parties discussed in detail the mechanisms for further support of the Ukrainian state in wartime conditions.

Defining key priorities

The central point of discussion was Ukraine's accession to the European Union, as well as increasing sanctions pressure on Russia for its armed aggression. Particular attention was paid to the need to strengthen the air defence system and develop joint production in this field.

The head of state emphasised that these four areas are fundamental for further interaction with the EU:

  • strengthening air defence and developing co-production;
  • ensuring financial stability;
  • the process of accession to the European Union;
  • maintaining and increasing sanctions pressure on Russia.

New formats of foreign policy coordination

Following the conclusion of the talks, Volodymyr Zelensky announced the intention to launch additional coordination formats in the sphere of foreign policy. According to him, such meetings with ambassadors of EU member states will become regular, which will allow for more effective synchronisation of actions and accelerate the implementation of the aforementioned priorities.
