European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen and European Council President Charles Michel traveled to Kyiv for an annual EU-Ukraine summit.
Ukrainian and European Union leaders have been meeting regularly for these summits since the 1990s, but this is the first time a summit is taking place with Ukraine as an official candidate to join the EU.
The bilateral meetings usually alternate between Ukrainian and European cities, but the meeting taking place in Kyiv this year, amid the sound of air raid sirens, is a reminder the country is still very much at war.
"Our presence in Kyiv today gives a very clear signal. The whole of the European Union is in this with Ukraine for the long haul, and we will stand up for Ukraine as we stand up for fundamental rights and respect for international law," said Von der Leyen.

..."Meanwhile, the EU is expected to offer hundreds of millions of euros worth of military and economic assistance to Ukraine, increased free trade, as well as propose a tenth sanctions package for Russia.
"It's in our common European interest to prevent Russia from side-stepping sanctions and prevent further aggression," said Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy."

Went in a bad peace, prepare for war not climate change because the war will bring climate change. Let's put hundreds of billions of dollars into keeping our US Navy strong, restocking our ammunition and maybe even building a second tank Factory. The Church of the green New Deal and the Biden agenda is just going to make us weak. They say that we only have a week's worth of ordinance if we fight China over Taiwan.
