European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen has vowed that Europe would back Ukraine until it was “finally free” as she and three other Western leaders arrived in Kyiv to show solidarity on the second anniversary of Russia’s full-scale invasion.
The visit by von der Leyen and the prime ministers of Italy, Giorgia Meloni, Canada’s Justin Trudeau and Belgium’s Alexander De Croo was a show of support as Ukraine suffers shortages of military supplies that are hurting it on the battlefield as Moscow grinds out territorial gains.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy embraced the Western leaders and delivered a televised speech against a backdrop of wrecked aircraft as the war continued unabated outside Kyiv.
