European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen has said that the goal of multilateral talks involving the United States, Ukraine, and Russia is to end the war and achieve a just and lasting peace in Ukraine.
He has emphasized that achieving this goal requires strong security guarantees for Ukraine and a plan for the country’s post-war reconstruction and economic prosperity.
Von der Leyen added that in order to force Russia to negotiate, support for Ukraine must continue and pressure on Moscow must increase; therefore, the European Union will soon propose the 22nd package of sanctions against Russia and a plan to cover Ukraine’s financial deficit in 2027.
He also welcomed the increase in diplomatic efforts to achieve peace and emphasized Europe’s presence and role in the negotiations.
