Borrell's farewell visit to Kyiv: EU solidarity in times of crisis!

A surprising visit to Kyiv! The EU foreign commissioner Josep Borrell has reached the Ukrainian capital and it could be his last appearance in this role. Borrell, who has been in the Ukraine, which was attacked by Russia, has announced his arrival on platform X. "The support of the EU for Ukraine was my personal priority during my tenure and will remain at the top of the EU agenda," he said.

This is Borrell's fifth visit to Ukraine since the beginning of the Russian war of attack. At the train station, he was warmly received by the EU ambassador in Kiev, Katarina Mathernova. An important meeting with the Ukrainian President Wolodymyr Selenskyj is also on the program. The talks are not only a sign of support, but also a symbolic farewell, since Borrell's term of office will soon end as an EU foreign officer.

a farewell with importance

The meaning of this trip cannot be assessed high enough. Borrell's commitment to Ukraine was of central importance during his term in office, and his farewell could be a turning point in the EU relationships with Ukraine. The conversations with Selenskyj will be crucial to secure the future support of the EU and to clarify the strategic goals in the region.
