ANKARA (AA) - The European Commission head will visit Kyiv this week to meet with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy.
During her visit to the war-torn country, Ursula von der Leyen will be accompanied by EU foreign policy chief Josep Borrell, said Eric Mamer, an EU spokesman, on Twitter.
This will be the most high-profile visit by a Western official to Ukraine since Russia's war began on Feb. 24.
The EU chief will meet with Zelenskyy “prior to the pledging event #StandUpForUkraine on Saturday in Warsaw,” Mamer added.
Roberta Metsola, the president of the European Parliament, also visited Kyiv last week.
