European Union leaders vowed to continue financial and military support for Ukraine during a summit in Brussels, while discussing a ceasefire proposal put forward by Donald Trump. The bloc reaffirmed its commitment to advancing Ukraine's EU accession process and working on a 22nd package of sanctions against Russia. Despite the proposal, Russia continued attacks on Ukraine's power grid, leading to emergency power outages in nine regions.
