According to the president of the European Council, Charles Michel, the next weeks would be decisive for the war in Ukraine. Michel has called on the EU leaders to respond to the requests made by Kyiv for weapons and ammunition. During the special meeting of the European council, Ukraine called for „ammunitions, artillery guns, missiles, vehicles and defence systems.” In turn, the president of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen said that Ukraine can count on the EU support now and in the future. She announced that the future set of sanctions would be targeting a series of Russian military and political leaders and includes over 10 billion euros restrictions for exports. On the sidelines of the aforementioned meeting, European leaders, including Romanian president Klaus Iohannis have voiced their commitment and support for Ukraine and its people. Besides the war in Ukraine, high on the talks agenda there are also the economic situation in the EU and migration. Iohannis said before the meeting that Romania is neither a source of migration nor a transit country. The Romanian official also said that the problem is European and Bucharest wants to participate in the process of finding some of the best solutions to this situation. Iohannis has also underlined that the issue of migration must not be mistaken for Schengen.
