EU Commission President vows solidarity with Ukraine.
Ursula von der Leyen, European Commission President: "This is not only a war unleashed by Russia against Ukraine. This is also a war on our energy. It's a war on our economy. It's a war on our values. It's a war on our future. It's about autocracy against democracy, and I stand here with a conviction that with the necessary courage and with the necessary solidarity Putin will fail and Ukraine and Europe will prevail (applause). Today courage has a name. And that name is Ukraine. Now it is time to make it a success story for Ukrainian friends too. And this is why today, I'm going to Kyiv to discuss all this with President Zelensky and to show him what the single market is as a potential for Ukraine's future too."
