Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has arrived at the European leaders’ summit in Moldova.
The Ukrainian president, who was greeted by the Moldovan President, Maia Sandu upon arrival, earlier said on their platform’s Telegram that he planned to meet other leaders in private.
Zelensky in his private meeting with other leaders is expected to call for further support for his country.
Close to 50 European leaders are meeting in the Moldovan town of Bulboaca, some 20 kilometers away from the Ukrainian border.
They are meeting to discuss the continent’s security, connectivity and energy issues.
With Russia and Belarus not being invited, discussions are likely to focus on Russia’s war against Ukraine and its consequences.
Thursday’s summit is a follow-up on the last year’s French-led initiative to gather leaders of EU and non-member countries in Prague to discuss current political challenges.
Zelensky recently attended the summits of the Arab League in Saudi Arabia and of the G7 group of leading economies in Japan.
