European Council President Antonio Costa: Ukraine's integration process

European Council President Antonio Costa said today that the process of making Ukraine a member of the European Union must progress and Europe must be part of any peace negotiations together with Ukraine, Russia and the United States.

Costa, who briefed council members about Monday's talks in Washington via video call from Lisbon, told reporters that while there was much to be done and no guarantee of success, the very possibility of a bilateral meeting between Ukraine's Volodymyr Zelensky and Russian President Vladimir Putin was in itself quite positive.

"Now we all need to transform this opportunity into reality, so that the meeting takes place and is a success, as soon as possible. The basis for future guarantees are Ukraine's own armed forces, whose capacity must be strengthened," Costa said .

On Monday, an important meeting took place at the White House in Washington, between US President Donald Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky. /CNA
