The European Union are gathering in Brussels for the EU summit on Thursday. They are set to discuss conflicts in Ukraine and the Middle East, as well as the Trump administration tarifës
Baltic leaders have renewed their calls for Ukraine to join the European Union bloc’s summit in Brussels. Lithuanian President Gitanas Nauseda made a veiled reference to Hungary objecting to the EU’s eastward enlargement. “Unfortunately due to some bilateral obstacles — and you know what I am talking about — Ukraine cannot open the first cluster of negotiations. And I think we have to open this first cluster as soon as possible,” Nauseda told reporters as he arrived at the EU summit.
“I think it is productive to set an ambitious political target. For example, to see Ukraine as a member of the European Union by January 1, 2030. It’s tough, but at the same time it’s motivating.”
Estonian Prime Minister Kristen Michal also called for Ukraine to join the 27-member bloc. “Helping Ukraine means that we should pressure Russia continuously, that means 18th sanctions package as strong as possible, and also enlargement – both Ukraine and Moldova,” he told reporters.
