According to inkorr.com: The President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky held a phone conversation with the President of the European Commission Ursula von der Leyen, during which the issues of Ukraine's Euro-integration were discussed. In his Telegram channel, Zelensky noted:

“We discussed Ukraine's progress towards EU membership, and we have every reason to expect a positive outcome for us.”

The President also reported that energy support for Ukraine was discussed in the conversation with von der Leyen. It is planned to start working on the implementation of agreements this week, and the parties agreed on future contacts and joint actions.

Destruction of Ukraine's gas infrastructure

In particular, the publication Bild reports that as a result of Russian attacks, up to 60% of Ukraine's gas infrastructure has been destroyed. Occupiers regularly attack coal power plants, gas storage facilities, and substations, trying to create conditions for winter frosts in Ukraine.

The meeting between Volodymyr Zelensky and Ursula von der Leyen was dedicated to the topic of Ukraine's membership in the EU and energy support. The parties agreed on the implementation of agreements this week and further cooperation to support Ukraine.

The discussions with Ursula von der Leyen emphasize the importance of Euro-integration processes for Ukraine, especially in the context of aggression from Russia. Support from the European Union is extremely important for enhancing the country's energy security, especially considering the approaching winter period.
