Von der Leyen: Goal of meeting in Paris is to secure security guarantees for Ukraine
European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen said that the goal of the "Coalition of the Willing" meeting in Paris is to provide Ukraine with reliable security guarantees.
She wrote about this on social network X, according to Censor.NET.
According to her, security guarantees for Ukraine should be based on several key elements, including strong Ukrainian armed forces capable of deterring future attacks, multinational deterrent forces, and commitments by partners to support Ukraine in the event of a new attack by Russia.
"The coalition is meeting today in Paris. Our goal is clear: to provide Ukraine with reliable security guarantees," von der Leyen wrote.
She also stressed that Ukraine's accession to the European Union would not only be a key security guarantee, but also a central element of the EU's proposal for Ukraine's long-term transformational development and prosperity.
