What happened
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.
Why it matters
The EU leaders stressed that there was no time to withdraw support for Ukraine or relieve sanctions on Russia. The discussion highlighted the ongoing tension between U.S. policy shifts and the EU's commitment to maintaining pressure on Russia. Ukraine also emphasized its need for air defense systems and funding ahead of winter.
