(ANSA-AFP) - KYIV, MAY 9 - EU chief Ursula von der Leyen
arrived in Kyiv on Tuesday to mark the Europe Day celebration of
peace and unity, as Ukraine delivered a symbolic retort to
Moscow's Victory Day parade. The president of the European
Commission travelled on an overnight train from Poland to see
President Volodymyr Zelensky and work on Ukraine's quest for
eventual EU membership, a reporter on the train said. The
Ukrainian leader has decreed that May 9 would be celebrated in
his country as Europe Day, as it is in Brussels, spurning the
martial Victory Day tradition of the former Soviet Union. So,
while tanks roll through Red Square in Moscow, in Kyiv Zelensky
and his European ally were to draw up plans to defeat the
Russian invasion and to bring Ukraine into the EU fold.
