President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy had a phone call with President of the European Commission Ursula von der Leyen.
The Head of State thanked the President of the European Commission for the attention she devoted to Ukraine and security issues in her annual State of the Union Address.
“The initiative to use the remaining SAFE funds to finance new defense projects by Ukraine and the European Union is very timely and truly necessary. It is important to implement it. Of course, we are also ready to cooperate on other security proposals that can strengthen all of Europe and each of our countries,” the President noted.
Volodymyr Zelenskyy and Ursula von der Leyen also discussed the steps needed to ensure Ukraine’s defense resilience. They spoke in great detail about the problem of financing Ukraine’s defense. Solutions to address this issue are being prepared.
