On Thursday, 9 February, the 27 leaders of the EU member states will gather at the summit in Brussels to discuss Ukraine, migration and the alliance’s reaction to the law on decreasing the inflation in the USA.

For security reasons, no further information will be provided.
Last week, Zelenskyy confirmed that he may come to Brussels with a personal visit to express his gratitude for the support of Ukraine, if there is a chance to receive long-range weapons, and if the security situation allows it.
