President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy had a phone call with President of the European Commission Ursula von der Leyen.

The Head of State thanked the President of the European Commission for her clear position and her messages of support for Ukraine during her address at the European Parliament today.

The leaders see eye to eye: as long as Russia continues to rebuff all peace efforts, sanctions against it must be tightened, and defense and financial assistance for Ukraine must continue.

Volodymyr Zelenskyy and Ursula von der Leyen discussed the current diplomatic situation and the European Union’s work on a decision regarding the use of frozen Russian assets for Ukraine’s defense.

The parties also coordinated their contacts for the near future.
