Sergii Koretskyi(@KoretskyiUA):Glad to welcome in Kyiv President of the European Council António Costa @eucopresident. We appreciate that our European friends stand by us as we defend our independence and shared values. I thanked for all the financial support, in particular, for today’s decision to allocate €6.1B for defense procurement. We discussed accelerating Ukraine’s EU accession negotiations, increasing pressure on Russia, as well as support in energy, financial, and defense domains. Also addressed global food security amid Russia’s Black Sea aggression and war‑risk insurance. Thank you to António Costa for personal support, while all the EU member states for standing with us.
