EU leaders have decided to unite around Ukraine.

While Trump is looking for a way to make peace with Putin, European politicians will arrive in Ukraine ahead of the anniversary of the Russian army's invasion.

The White House has decided to radically change its policy towards Ukraine. In this context, EU leaders have decided to unite around Ukraine to discuss security guarantees.

On February 24, European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen, European Council President Antonio Costa, and Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez are scheduled to arrive in Kyiv, Politico writes.

In addition, the leaders of Canada, the Baltic states, and Malta may join in person or online. The meeting will also be attended by European Parliament President Roberta Metsola, but it is not yet clear in what format.

The visit of European politicians will take place in connection with the third anniversary of Putin's army's invasion of Ukraine, and also against the backdrop of Trump's accusations that Kyiv is to blame for this war.

The President of Ukraine confirmed that European leaders and politicians will arrive in Kyiv on February 24. Following Trump's accusations, Zelensky decided to rally European leaders around himself.

For security reasons, the full composition of the European delegation is still being kept secret, but Prague has stated that the Czech President will definitely not be in Ukraine.

It is also known that the President of France and the Prime Minister of Great Britain will go on a working visit to the United States.
