 "Zelenskyy to meet Nato chief ahead of EU huddle on Ukraine amid Trump pressure")
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy is set to meet with Nato Secretary General Mark Rutte ahead of a crucial European Union meeting in Brussels.
He is also likely to participate in the European Council meeting in Brussels on Thursday, his spokesman said.
During the visit, he will also meet the Austrian chancellor and Belgian leaders.
European Union leaders are holding an emergency summit in Brussels on Thursday to discuss growing security concerns and Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
The meeting will focus on increasing military spending after the Trump administration pushed Europe to take responsibility for its own security and stopped US military aid to Ukraine.
This meeting follows recent changes in US foreign policy under President Donald Trump and closer ties with Russia. These developments have led Europe to rethink its defence and security plans.
French President Emmanuel Macron has called for “an incredible awakening,” whereas Germany’s incoming Chancellor, Friedrich Merz, emphasised that Europe is “five minutes to midnight.”
“Europe faces a clear and present danger on a scale that none of us have seen in our adult lifetime. Some of our fundamental assumptions are being undermined to their very core,” European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen said in a letter to the 27 leaders of the EU.
