Von der Leyen on EU Support for Ukraine in Kyiv

The Ukrainian president stated that the threat remains and the country continues to resist, aiming to achieve a security architecture. Commemorative events were held in Kyiv with European leaders reaffirming their support. The day's message combined mourning and determination, warning that any pause without guarantees could be used by Russia to regroup.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy told CNN in an interview that the United States needs to put more pressure on Russian leader Vladimir Putin. He said America is strong enough to stop the war and called on Trump to remain on Ukraine's side.

A joint report revealed the immense war damage and the need for massive investments in Ukraine's reconstruction.

A large-scale Russian attack on Kyiv has led to the disconnection of heating in another 2,600 residential buildings in the capital, where thousands were already without heat after previous strikes. Seven people were injured, and energy infrastructure was damaged.
