Leaders of EU member states will gather in Brussels on June 18–19 for a European Council summit.

European Council President António Costa sent participants an invitation letter outlining the agenda, according to Ukrinform, citing the institution’s press service.

“Ukraine remains high on our agenda, and we will start our discussion by hearing from President Zelensky,” he wrote.

Costa noted that Ukraine is achieving new successes on the battlefield, while Russia is failing to meet its military and strategic objectives.

“Russia’s increasingly reckless and irresponsible behavior towards EU Member States is unacceptable and signals the opposite of strength. Our two-pronged approach – supporting Ukraine and increasing pressure on Russia – is working,” the European Council President said.
