European Council meets to discuss Ukraine, defence, energy and food security


Today and tomorrow, EU leaders meet in Brussels to discuss the latest developments in relation to Russia’s military aggression against Ukraine and continued EU support to Ukraine, including humanitarian, military, financial, and political support. 

The EU heads of state and government will also discuss EU security and defence, energy, and food security.

He added that the EU would also continue putting pressure on Russia.
