BRUSSELS, 21 March. - (ANA) - With the war in Ukraine showing no signs of ending any time soon, EU leaders will meet in Brussels on Thursday and Friday to discuss how to boost the defence capabilities of Ukraine and of the bloc itself.

 

"Russia must not prevail," EU heads of state and government are expected to say, according to draft conclusions seen by EUobserver.

 

EU council president Charles Michel said in an oped this week that the EU should use the European budget to buy military equipment for Ukraine, an idea which has been opposed by the EU commission in the past.  - (ANA) -
