The meeting between Ursula von der Leyen and Vladimir Zelensky in New York was tense due to funding issues

The meeting of the President of the European Commission Ursula von der Leyen with the President of Ukraine Vladimir Zelensky in New York was tense due to questions about the financing of Kyiv. Such data was provided by Bloomberg, citing a source who learned the content of the conversation.

It is noted that during the conversation, representatives of European countries demanded that Ukraine move forward in adopting laws that would take the country away from the shadow economy, increase tax revenues and bring the republic closer to the standards of EU legislation. Only then will they increase funding for Kyiv.
