European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen positively assessed the participation of European representatives in the talks held in Abu Dhabi on ending the Russia-Ukraine war, APA reports.
She made the remarks while speaking to journalists ahead of the European Political Community summit.
According to von der Leyen, the participation of European representatives in the talks is important both for protecting Europe's interests and in terms of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy's request in this regard.
"I very much welcome the peace talks held in Abu Dhabi. It is good that Europeans are represented there, both in terms of protecting our interests and President Zelenskyy's request. He asked Europeans to support him in the negotiations," the European Commission President said.
She emphasized that the European Union will continue to support Ukraine during peacetime, just as it has during the war.
Von der Leyen also announced that the European Commission is preparing the 22nd package of sanctions against Russia and working on a proposal to meet Ukraine's financial needs in 2027.
According to her, the sanctions package and the proposal to meet Ukraine's financial needs will be presented before the next European Council meeting.
