Brussels – Ursula von der Leyen expressed support for efforts aimed at achieving a just and lasting peace that upholds Ukraine’s sovereignty and territorial integrity, following a phone call with European leaders and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky on the X network.
This discussion occurred ahead of Mr. Zelensky’s meeting with U.S. President Donald Trump scheduled for Sunday.
“This enhances the country’s security and defense capabilities, contributing to the overall security of our continent,” the European leader emphasized.
“In 2026, the Commission will persist in applying pressure on the Kremlin, supporting Ukraine, and actively facilitating its path towards EU membership,” she added.
European Council President Antonio Costa, who also participated in the conversation with Mr. Zelensky, reinforced these sentiments. “The EU’s support for Ukraine will remain steadfast,” he noted on X. “In war, in peace, in reconstruction,” he concluded. (27 December 2025)
