"EU Urges Immediate Ceasefire in Gaza and Plans to Use Frozen Russian Assets to Support Ukraine"

The second day of the EU summit in Brussels focused on foreign policy, agriculture, and the European Economic Area, with discussions on imposing tariffs on Russian and Belarusian grain imports to cut their export income and prevent destabilization of the EU market. The EU also considered using profits from frozen Russian assets to fund military support for Ukraine, prompting warnings and threats of retaliation from the Kremlin. Additionally, EU leaders called for a cease-fire in Gaza and opened accession talks with Bosnia and Herzegovina, while Ukrainian President Zelenskyy urged European allies to provide more air defense systems and ammunition.
