EU leaders to discuss further support to Ukraine

EU leaders are gathering in Brussels on Thursday for a special council on defence, as France’s President Emmanuel Macron warned that the continent was at a “turning point of history”, the BBC writes.

As well as rearmament, leaders are expected to discuss how the body can further support Kyiv in the face of U.S. President Donald Trump’s announcement on Monday that he would suspend aid to Ukraine. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy is invited to the summit.
