The President of the European Council, Charles Michel, has proposed further discussion to the EU leaders attending the upcoming summit in Brussels on October 26-27 regarding additional support for Ukraine.
“Among the various aspects of our assistance, I would like us to focus on specific ways of accelerating the provision of military support, progressing our plans to use blocked Russian assets, and intensifying our diplomatic work to ensure the broadest international support for a comprehensive, just, and sustainable peace,” Michel remarked.
According to him, the meeting will also provide recommendations on revising the multi-year financial framework. It is not specified whether the €50B Ukrainian fund for 2024-2027 is included in the budget revision.
The President of the European Council added that the events in the Middle East “need our immediate attention, without distracting us from our constant support to Ukraine.”
