The head of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen, claims that the priority of the European Union in the negotiations on Ukraine with Russia, the United States and Ukraine will be a ceasefire, as well as the formation of "security guarantees" and the awarding of contracts by the European Union for the reconstruction of Ukraine.
Von der Leyen also promised to present the 22nd package of sanctions against Russia as soon as possible and, by the end of the year, proposals for military financing of Ukraine.
