European leaders ended a crisis summit at the Palace of Versailles in France.
In response to an urgent appeal from Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky for fast-track European Union membership, E.U. leaders concluded a two-day crisis summit at France’s Palace of Versailles with talk of Ukraine being part of the European family, but the E.U. did not appear ready to substantively depart from what is typically a years-long process, a reminder that Western support for the Ukrainian fight has limits.
“Russia cannot grossly violate international law and, at the same time, expect to benefit from the privileges of being part of the international economic order,” von der Leyen said in the statement. To support the defense of Ukraine, Josep Borrell, the top E.U. diplomat, said the E.U. executive body had proposed earmarking an additional 500 million euros, or about $545 million, for a first-of-its kind effort to finance the supply and delivery of weapons. The money would still need to be approved by heads of government.
“I am sure the leaders will provide this money,” Borrell said. “And it is going to be immediately so it flows quickly.”to Ukraine, a previous pledge from Borrell that has been followed with finger-pointing and limited enthusiasm.
