EU leaders to meet Ukrainian President on Friday

On Friday the European Union leaders will meet Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy in Kyiv, bringing new sanctions against Russia, but disappointing Ukraine's hopes for a swift membership to the EU.

Ursula von der Leyen, the head of the group's executive commission, arrived in Kyiv on Thursday, a symbolic journey to show support for Ukraine as the first anniversary of Russia's February 24, 2022 invasion of its neighbor approaches.

Senior members of the EU executive met their counterparts in the Ukrainian government, and von der Leyen and the chairman of 27 EU national leaders, Charles Michel, will hold talks with Zelenskyy on Friday.
