The EU leaders' meeting in London has ended. European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen is one of the first to come out of the door and give her reaction.
She said the leaders had a "good and frank discussion," and discussed what is needed to put Ukraine in a strong position.
She stressed that Ukraine needs "comprehensive security guarantees," supporting its economic and military positions.
“ We urgently need to rearm Europe and the Commission will propose a plan for this to the European Council on 6 March, as it says we really need to increase massively. It is now of great importance to increase investment in defence over a long period of time.

Asked about her message to the US, she said that the EU is ready to defend democracy with Washington's help.
" We are ready, together with you, to defend democracy and the principle that there is a rule of law, that you cannot invade ... and harass your neighbor or you cannot change borders by force ," she concluded.
