European Union leaders are currently meeting in Brussels to discuss several pressing issues, including migration, the ongoing conflict in the Middle East, and the war in Ukraine. This summit marks the first major gathering of EU heads of state and government this season and is focused on foreign affairs and security policy.
On migration, leaders are emphasizing the need to implement the EU Pact on Migration and Asylum, especially in light of potential increases in migration flows due to tensions in the Middle East. The discussion aims to strengthen border control and enhance cooperation with countries outside the EU to manage migration more effectively.
Regarding the situation in Ukraine, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky is presenting his country’s “victory plan” against Russia, with the EU reaffirming its commitment to providing substantial military and financial support. The leaders are also addressing the humanitarian crisis stemming from the Israel-Hamas conflict, calling for an immediate humanitarian pause and increased aid access.
This summit is pivotal as it aims to build a united front on these critical issues, with discussions expected to continue over the next few days.
