Europe Stands Behind Ukraine as War Enters Its Fifth Year, Polls Show Mixed Public Mood

European leaders reaffirm unwavering backing for Ukraine as the war enters its fifth year, with visits to Kyiv from EU chiefs and vows of continued support. At the same time, public opinion across several countries reveals a nuanced picture: France shows waning enthusiasm for arms deliveries (47% support, 39% oppose), and a split on a peacekeeping role though a majority backs negotiations with Putin. In Spain, most respondents doubt a swift Ukrainian recovery yet about 75% want Europe to maintain military aid; Portugal shows significant readiness for NATO-linked troop involvement, while Germany indicates a majority favor more aid but with a notable minority against continued support. Overall, leaders stress solidarity while publics weigh the trade-offs of military assistance, negotiations, and potential concessions.

The IDF carried out a large-scale incursion into Gaza, and Japan has urged Israel to suspend its assault for humanitarian assistance.

EU Leaders Gather in Granada to Address Enlargement, Migration, and Economic Security

European Union leaders are meeting in Granada to discuss issues such as enlargement, migration, and economic competitiveness. The summit comes after a pledge of support for Ukraine at the European Political Community summit. Enlargement remains a challenge for the bloc, with eight countries having official EU candidate status. EU Council President Charles Michel emphasized the need for reforms and preparation for new member countries. The leaders are expected to state that the future of aspiring members lies within the EU. The summit will also address immigration challenges, with southern EU nations seeking to implement changes to handle irregular immigration. However, Poland and Hungary expressed outrage at the planned changes, with Poland rejecting the admission of illegal immigrants and Hungary describing the proposed legislation as "legally raped."

EU Summit Deadlocked as Poland and Hungary Refuse to Bow to Migrant Rules

EU leaders are engaged in migration talks as Poland and Hungary continue to block progress on a plan to share refugees among member countries. The two countries, which voted against the plan earlier this month, are challenging the legal validity of the decision and demanding changes to EU rules. While their efforts are unlikely to succeed, their anti-immigrant stance has influenced the EU's focus on keeping people out and deporting those not entitled to stay.
