Umerov held talks with von der Leyen's office in Brussels
Rustem Umerov, Secretary of the National Security and Defense Council, met in Brussels with Björn Seibert, Head of the Office of European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen. During the talks, they discussed cooperation between Ukraine and the European Union in the areas of security and support.
This was announced on Tuesday in Brussels at a briefing by European Commission spokesperson Paula Pignol.
“I can confirm that a meeting took place yesterday (Monday, May 25) between the Head of the Office of President von der Leyen and Mr. Umerov. This is part of the regular contacts we have with Ukraine at all levels,” she said.
According to Pinho, one of the topics discussed was defense cooperation, “also in light of recent events and in view of President (von der Leyen) to Lithuania, where defense cooperation will again be discussed (this refers to the incursion of drones into the airspace of the Baltic states – IF-U)." "Therefore, this should be viewed in this context and in the broader context of the regular contacts we have at all levels with our Ukrainian colleagues," explained the European Commission spokesperson.
Responding to a question about whether the possible appointment of a European Union mediator with Russia was discussed, Pignot noted that "she would not go into the details of discussions regarding peace talks and envoys." "You’ve heard us say this several times: we see no signals from President Putin indicating a genuine desire for peace, so discussing envoys would be great when the time comes and when we see a real willingness to make peace on Russia’s part," she explained.
