Ukraine discusses integration with EU as Russia marks Victory Day

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy said he discussed European integration, defence matters and sanctions against Russia at talks on Tuesday with European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen.

After talks held in Kyiv as Russia celebrated the anniversary of the Soviet victory over Nazi Germany in World War Two, Zelenskiy said he expected the European Union to soon approve more sanctions on Russia over Moscow's invasion of Ukraine.
