Zelensky, von der Leyen discuss macro-financial assistance to Ukraine

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and President of the European Commission Ursula von der Leyen have discussed further support for Ukraine, including macro-financial assistance.

The relevant statement was made by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky on Twitter, an Ukrinform correspondent reports.

“Talked to Ursula von der Leyen. Thanked the European Commission for deciding to abolish tariffs, quotas on Ukraine’s industrial goods, foods. Discussed further support, including MFA,” Zelensky wrote.

In his words, the President of the European Commission also spoke about the sixth sanctions package against Russia, which must include oil embargo.

A reminder that, on February 24, 2022, Russian President Vladimir Putin initiated a full-scale invasion of Ukraine, starting a war.  Russian troops are shelling and destroying the key infrastructure facilities, launching missile and air strikes on Ukrainian cities and villages, torturing and murdering civilians.
