Finally, the Ukrainian president, Volodymyr Zelensky, will attend the summit of leaders of the European Political Community and the European Union (EU) being held in Granada within the framework of the Spanish presidency of the EU. The presence of the Ukrainian president was key at a meeting where the expansion of the community club to the east will be discussed, but last night he still could not “guarantee” his presence in Spain after having been invited by the Spanish president, Pedro Sánchez, and others. leaders.
However, early this morning, Zelensky announced his arrival in Granada on his social networks. “Our common goal is to ensure the security and stability of our common European home,” said the Ukrainian head of state.
Zelensky noted that “Ukraine’s key priority” is to “strengthen air defense,” especially, he explained, in the face of the arrival of winter and the possibility that Russia will repeat its campaign of air strikes against Ukrainian electrical and thermal infrastructure. “We have already laid the foundations for new agreements with partners and we hope that they will be approved and implemented,” he added.
The President of Ukraine listed among the topics of interest to Ukraine in this meeting, addressing the situation in the Black Sea region and “our common efforts to strengthen global food security and freedom of navigation.”
Zelensky also stated that he brings “substantial proposals” to the rest of the European leaders to strengthen the “European security architecture” and, in particular, that of the east of the continent.
