European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen arrived in the Ukrainian capital Kyiv on Wednesday morning, her first visit to the country in several months. In remarks reported by Asaf Rozentzweig (N12), von der Leyen described the moment as 'special' and assessed that Ukraine's military momentum has become 'significant,' with the battlefield trend beginning to shift. The visit comes as the war with Russia approaches its fifth year and follows a series of Ukrainian long-range strikes that have drawn international attention. Von der Leyen has been a vocal supporter of Ukraine, having previously announced EU sanctions against Russian military personnel (June 9) and endorsed fast-track EU accession for Ukraine (June 17), as The Zioneer has reported. The European Commission has not yet released an official transcript of her remarks.
