In his conversation with von der Leyen, the two leaders aligned on next steps in Ukraine-EU cooperation. "We remain in full coordination with the European Commission, I am grateful for the support. We discussed the diplomatic situation, and we share a common view on key issues," Zelenskyy reported.
Energy resilience was a separate focus of the discussion with the Commission president. "It is also important that Ursula is very attentive to the need to strengthen our resilience amid constant Russian strikes on infrastructure, on energy.
