Four Pillars Roundup: Zelenskyy and von der Leyen discuss EU accession and financial aid in Brussels

Dec 22, 2024News

President Volodymyr Zelensky, 2022 World Leader for Peace and Security Award recipient, said that the main topics of talks with European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen were the negotiation process on Ukraine’s accession to the EU and the use of frozen Russian assets.

“2025 will be a crucial year for Ukraine and its partners. We will stand by Ukraine’s right to fight for its freedom and choose its own destiny. We will support Ukraine’s economic stability, with over €30 billion of EU support next year,” von der Leyen stated.

One of BGF’s flagship programs, the Four Pillars for Peace and Security, brings together key global players including the United States, Japan, the European Union and the United Kingdom, and India. In today’s increasingly unstable world, the Four Pillars initiative serves as a vital framework for cooperation and strategic alignment among these influential nations. Additionally, BGF proudly incorporates the Shinzo Abe Initiative for Peace and Security, honoring the legacy of Japan’s former Prime Minister and his contributions to international stability and diplomatic relations.
