URSULA UNDER FIRE: Secret Ukraine War Talks With Zelensky, Macron, Starmer & Merz Leads To Probe

In this Times Now World News report, we break down the this topic: European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen is facing fresh scrutiny after the European Ombudsman launched an investigation into a private group chat involving Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and several European leaders. The probe examines whether the European Commission violated EU transparency rules by refusing to release access to the correspondence. The chat reportedly included German Chancellor Friedrich Merz, French President Emmanuel Macron, Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni and UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer. The European Commission defended its decision, saying disclosure could affect EU relations with third countries. The investigation comes amid wider debate over transparency, accountability and decision-making inside Brussels, with reports suggesting the discussions involved strategies related to US President Donald Trump and European geopolitical challenges. The case is expected to continue for several months as EU officials face questions over private diplomatic communication linked to Ukraine and Europe’s foreign policy. #ursulavonderleyen, #europeanunion, #eu, #zelensky, #ukraine, #brussels, #europeancommission, #eupolitics, #euwatchdog, #transparency, #geopolitics, #ukrainewar, #macron, #merz, #keirstarmer, #worldnews, #internationalnews, #foreignpolicy Stay connected with Times Now World for real-time global news and analysis: 🌐 Read full coverage: https://www.timesnownews.com/world 📱 Instagram:   / timesnow.world   🐦 Follow us on X: https://x.com/TimesNow_World #timesnowworld #worldnews #breakingnews
