The British PM went to Kiev unexpectedly the day after the French, German and, Italian leaders visited Kiev via train, to debate with Kiev the possibility of reopening negotiation channels between Ukraine and Russia. Furthermore, the three leaders endorsed Ukraine’s bid to become an EU member state and issued a formal recommendation to the European Commission.

The European Commission's chief, Ursula von der Leyen, said on 16 June that once the war in Ukraine is over, the EU will support Ukraine's efforts to rebuild.

Von der Leyen said in an interview on CNN that Kiev belonged in Europe, and the EU will support Ukraine's bid for membership, adding that its accession to the Union might be viewed as an extraordinary case.

Usually, joining the EU would take years in order to cross obstacles preventing its accession, von der Leyen admitted. She had traveled on Friday to meet Volodymyr Zelensky a membership questionnaire in order to launch the process of Ukraine's accession.

Von der Leyen promised Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky that Ukraine's accession to the European Union would be expedited.
