Zelenskyy discusses EU aid, peace efforts with von der Leyen

(MENAFN) Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy on Tuesday spoke by phone with European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen to discuss a new multi-billion euro aid package and ongoing diplomatic efforts aimed at ending the conflict with Russia.

“Negotiations are currently ongoing that can fundamentally alter the situation, and it is essential to ensure the right pressure on Russia for the sake of peace – joint pressure from all partners,” Zelenskyy said in a statement on Telegram following the call.

The Ukrainian leader expressed gratitude for the European Council’s recent approval of a €90 billion ($106.4 billion) financial assistance plan for Ukraine covering 2026–2027. He described the EU’s commitment as crucial during a “decisive diplomatic moment” for the country.

The conversation also focused on strengthening Ukraine’s resilience and improving its leverage at the negotiating table. Zelenskyy highlighted that despite the approaching holiday season, Kyiv and its international partners continue daily efforts toward peace and regional security.

Both leaders agreed to maintain close coordination in the coming days as diplomatic activity intensifies. Zelenskyy also thanked von der Leyen for the European Union’s steadfast support since the outset of the full-scale conflict.
