Today, Thursday (6.3.2025), the EU leaders are gathering in Brussels amidst escalating tensions due to the aggressive strategy of U.S. President Donald Trump against Ukraine. The summit aims to find a delicate balance as Europe seeks to strengthen its common defense capabilities. Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis is expected to emphasize the necessity for bold measures to enhance member states’ defense capabilities beyond conventional methods. The European Commission has announced an 800-billion-euro REARM Europe package, welcomed by Greece as a significant step towards strengthening collective security. However, clarifications are needed on key aspects, such as activating the escape clause for defense spending in national budgets. Furthermore, Mitsotakis will address informal summits organized by Macron and Starmer without Greece’s presence, stressing the need for a united European voice regarding Ukraine’s peaceful resolution. The summit also involves discussions with Ukrainian President Zelensky via video conference, highlighting the importance of continued dialogue with the U.S. for fair and lasting peace in Ukraine.
