Briefing by News4U · First published

Yesterday European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen said on X, addressing Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, that "we stand by Ukraine, in times of war and peace." She wrote that European Union support matches its resolve, and that both only grow stronger with time, from meeting Ukraine's urgent needs this winter to securing the financing Ukraine needs for 2027. Von der Leyen said this will be on the table at the European Council, or EUCO, meeting at the end of November. European Council President António Costa posted the same message on X minutes later.
