Ukraine's Foreign Minister Meets EU Chief Diplomat in Brussels
Ukraine's Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba and EU chief diplomat Josep Borrel have held a bilateral meeting in Brussels.
Borrell said that he was pleased to welcome Kuleba to the European External Action Service, the EU's diplomatic agency, and that they had discussed the state of play in the areas of EU support for Ukraine.
"We will continue supporting Ukraine for as long as it takes, and we will continue to impose a heavy price on Russia until it ceases its aggression," noted Josep Borrell.

Kuleba's visit to Brussels and the planned meeting with Borrell were known about in advance.
