European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen insisted Ukraine's accession to the European Union is a key component of the country's future security guarantees after holding talks with European leaders to debrief peace talks on Tuesday.
Von der Leyen said that accession to the 27-member bloc, which Ukraine aspires to join, represents "a key security guarantee in its own right," in a social media post following a call within the Berlin Format, which includes the leaders of Germany, France, and Poland, among others.
