Europe seeks to recover the initiative against A Russia closer to a Donald Trump even more challenging. To do this European Union (EU) celebrates an extraordinary summit in which the agreed points in London will be addressed last Sunday, as is The 800,000 million euros plan that the president of the European Commission (CE)Ursula von der Leyen, announced to rearm the old continent and increase military aid to Ukraine.
An event that Ukrainian President himself has not lacked, Volodimir Zelenskidespite not being a member of the community body. There he has been received as a European leader more by von der Leyen and the president of the European CouncilAntonio Costa, who is underlining all that “we can only guarantee peace and security if we are strong.”
In fact, your team in private shows hope of opening A new chapter in the EU defensewhile defining as “extremely relevant” the fund of 150,000 million common debt also raised by the president of the Commission. In that line, they hope that the 27 will validate it and so it can be approved at the technical level in the next few days.
An amount that is included in the 800,000 million that von der Leyen announced that it would mobilize and for what 27 of the 27, after the Slovakia of Robert Fico will raise the veto to maintain economic and military support to the neighboring country. Of course, in return, its demand to open transit to Russian gas has been incorporated. Without surprises, Víktor Orbán’s Hungary is presented as the main obstacle.
Another issue that is also addressed at the extraordinary summit this Thursday is A possible EU envoy for Ukraine. However, from the presidency of the Council they believe that “it is premature” to know what role the EU will have in a possible mission in the country, since “it depends on the result of the peace negotiations”, in which Europe is clear to participate, but also Ukraine.
Something that has been reiterating from different European countries. Without going any further, this Wednesday in a speech to the nation, the French president, Emmanuel Macron, stressed that “The future” of the continent “should not be decided between Washington and Moscow”following the approach between the American president and his Russian counterpart, Vladimir Putin. In fact, he did not hesitate to emphasize that you cannot “trust the word of Russia.”
In that line, he announced that “from next week” they will meet “In Paris to the Chiefs of Staff of the countries that want to assume responsibilities,”. Some meetings that seek to achieve “a plan for a solid, lasting and verifiable peace (…) prepared with the Ukrainians and several European partners.”
