He spoke with the President of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen. Currently, the situation in many of our cities and communities with electricity, water and heat supply is very difficult due to Russian attacks. The most difficult - in Kyiv, Dnipro region, Sumy region, Donetsk region and Kherson. I told Ursoli about the challenges, and we agreed that the European Union would activate a special mechanism to help in emergency situations. This will make it possible to quickly provide Ukraine with funds for what is needed now. The teams are already working on it.
Additional energy and humanitarian aid for winter preparation and European integration issues were discussed. This week the European Commission published its annual report on EU enlargement, where it successfully assessed Ukraine's progress. It is important to open all clusters and start closing partitions.
Diplomacy is discussed, of course. A few days ago there were negotiations in Brussels, where our teams worked well on the recovery plan and security guarantees from Europe. Coordination of positions with Ursula regarding the meeting in Abu Dhabi. We do everything to ensure that the triple format brings results. Thank you Ursula!
