Volodymyr Zelenskyy met with President of the European Commission Ursula von der Leyen.
The head of state announced this in Telegram, Censor.NET reports.
The parties discussed priorities for the new European Commission and Ukraine's accession to the EU.
"We have also discussed the use of frozen Russian assets for the needs of Ukraine. I am grateful for the new EU macro-financial assistance worth €18.1 billion under the G7 loan. We expect the first tranche in January 2025.
We appreciate Ursula von der Leyen's personal efforts to consolidate EU unity around our country. The joint position of Ukraine and all other European countries is important for bringing a just peace closer," Zelenskyy said.
Earlier it was reported that Ukraine had signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) providing for the EU to provide macro-financial assistance worth EUR 18.1bn (about USD 19bn at the current exchange rate) as part of a USD 50bn loan package approved by the G7 countries, which will be repaid from the proceeds of frozen Russian assets.
