One of best security guarantees is to become part of EU - Katarína Mathernová, EU Ambassador to Ukraine
The European Union is seeking ways to bolster support for Ukraine, as the situation on the front lines remains difficult and signals from the United States are mixed. A significant portion of the European Council meeting in Brussels was dedicated to this issue. Following a meeting with President Volodymyr Zelensky, leaders from the 27 EU member states discussed next steps—including financial assistance, the use of frozen Russian assets, and the protection of Ukraine’s energy sector.
On the second day of the summit, Ukrinform spoke with the EU Ambassador to Ukraine, Katarína Mathernová. She was present during discussions between President Zelensky, European Council President António Costa, and European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen. The conversation covers what kind of decisions Kyiv can expect, how defense cooperation will evolve, and why accession to the European Union is significant not only for Ukraine’s future but also for its security today.
