Von der Leyen, 'the issue of European security only after the ceasefire in Ukraine'

“President Zelensky asked for support from European partners in the peace talks and of course we provided it.” The president of the EU Commission Ursula von der Leyen said this at a press conference in Bucharest, explaining how the main theme of the talks in Abu Dhabi "is to end the war in Ukraine".

"And I want to be clear, any minimal discussion on the European security architecture can only be started after a ceasefire in Ukraine and in an appropriate format, with our European and NATO allies," she underlined.
