"As I conveyed to Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba, the EU fully supports Ukraine's fight against Russian aggression. I look forward to meeting him in Brussels and to a discussion with EU Foreign and Defense Ministers next week, to move forward in our support to Ukraine," he said.

Last week, Kuleba and Borrell discussed the expansion of arms production and the details of Ukraine's operation in Russia's Kursk region.
