Ukraine could join the European Union before 2030 if the country continues its reforms at their current speed and quality, European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen told reporters in Kyiv on Monday.

European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen has said she would support US President Donald Trump's initiative for Ukraine if it delivered a lasting peace with security guarantees that included a US backstop.

Von der Leyen not only brushed off the ombudsman’s rebuke but doubled down by officially limiting access to certain kinds of documents, in a move that is being challenged by environmental NGO ClientEarth. Consolidating her grip on the Commission’s outward image, von der Leyen has also further reduced the institution’s number of spokespeople.

Ursula von der Leyen announced that Ukraine could join the EU before 2030 if it meets certain criteria. Amid rising tensions, Trump has sided with Russia, complicating Ukraine's EU accession, which faces legal hurdles.

Europe's Socialists and Democrats group rejects any change to supply chain due diligence rules, according to a letter to the European Commission president.

Europe is here to strengthen Ukraine at this critical moment. I can announce that a new payment of $3.7 billion will arrive in March,” Ursula von der Leyen said in Kyiv at an international summit supporting Ukraine.

Ukraine will receive a new €3.5 billion disbursement from the EU in March, European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen has said as she arrived for the International Summit on the Support of Ukraine in Kyiv.
