European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen condemns the russian missile strike on Odesa during Zelenskyy's visit with Greek Prime Minister Mitsotakis, which killed 5 people.
On March 6, five people were killed in a morning attack on Odesa's port infrastructure by Russians. In addition, there is information about the wounded.
The President of the European Council Charles Michel believes that the shelling of Odesa during the visit of the President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyi and the Prime Minister of Greece Kyriakos Mitsotakis demonstrates the cowardly tactics of the russian federation.
Europe must increase military spending to deter a more aggressive Russia, says Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen.
Zelenskyy called for further increasing sanctions pressure on Russia to force it to become more rational and lose the war, while announcing new defense support packages from Denmark, the United Kingdom, and New Zealand.
Zelenskyy and Michel discussed sanctions against Russia, the situation on the Ukrainian-Polish border, and preparations for the 25th anniversary Ukraine-EU summit.
The President of the European Council criticized Trump's statements about encouraging Russian attacks on NATO allies as only serving Putin's interests and not bringing more security or peace.

According to Ukraine's Foreign Minister, the allocation of 50 billion euros to Ukraine for 2024-2027 demonstrates Kyiv's continued support. In addition, it destroys statements about international partners' fatigue with the war.
