The European Commission chief landed in Kyiv ahead of a major summit to show European support for Ukraine and to discuss the country's path toward EU membership.

At a joint press conference, Ukrainian President Volodomyr Zelenskyy thanked the EU for its support, including of its membership bid to the bloc, saying that "pan-European integration strengthens our ability to protect life." However, he also expressed disappointment that the pace of EU sanctions against Moscow had "slightly slowed down" in recent months.
Von der Leyen responded that "we will introduce with our G7 partners an additional price cap on Russian petroleum products, and by the 24th of February — exactly one year since the invasion started — we aim to have the 10th package of sanctions in place."
The EU leader was accompanied by a team of 15 other commissioners, including the bloc's top diplomat Josep Borrell.
"Europe stood united with Ukraine from day one. And will still stand with you to win and rebuild," Borrell said. He is expected to announce a doubling of Ukrainian troops to be given special training in the EU this year.
