Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky met with the EU leaders to discuss a "drone wall" initiative to shield the EU's eastern flank from Russian incursions and the prospects for opening the first cluster in Ukraine's EU integration process.

He disclosed details of the meeting in a post on Telegram, according to Ukrinform.

"I had a meeting with President of the European Commission Ursula von der Leyen, President of the European Council Antonio Costa, and Prime Minister of Denmark Mette Frederiksen. We focused discussions on supporting Ukraine's European integration and opening the first cluster together with Moldova, on our readiness to join the Drone Wall initiative and share our own experience, on the use of frozen Russian assets and new financial instruments to support Ukraine, as well as on the importance of adopting the 19th package of EU sanctions against Russia," Zelensky said.
