The matter of assistance has acquired a greater sense of urgency after Russia renewed its attacks with drones and missiles against the war-battered nation, destroying critical infrastructure and residential buildings, and killing dozens of civilians. Germany said this month it would send Kyiv a third Patriot battery, an advanced US-made system that can intercept incoming projectiles, and set up an initiative to encourage other countries to donate additional air defences. Ukrainian President Volodymr Zelenskyy has warned Russia would soon expand its barrage of airstrikes and asked for at least ...

A political agreement on the move emerged among the bloc's 27 member countries last month, but technical work has delayed its implementation, prompting many countries - such as France and Belgium - to unilaterally impose national sanctions. Some 490,000 Israelis live in settlements in the Israeli-occupied West Bank, which are considered a breach of international law. Attacks on Palestinians in the occupied territory have surged since the outbreak of the war between Israel and Hamas last October, causing around 460 deaths, according to the Palestinian health ministry. Four individuals and two e...

Speaking following an exceptional virtual meeting of EU foreign ministers on Tuesday, Josep Borrell said he would ask his services to study the possibility of expanding existing EU sanctions against Iranian drone technology. It would see the current sanctions regime - established in July 2023 to punish Iran for aiding Putin's war machine with unmanned drones - expanded to include missiles and to also cover Iran's proxies in the region. The bloc would also weigh the possibility of listing the Iranian Revolutionary Guard as a terrorist organisation, he said, while stressing that such a move woul...

This is one of the main conclusions from an exclusive Euronews poll conducted by Ipsos among almost 26,000 respondents across 18 member states ahead of the elections to the European Parliament, which will be held between 6 and 9 June. The first-of-its-kind survey shows that 40% of Europeans see the strengthening of the bloc's global weight as a "priority" while 42% believe this should be "important but not a priority." Only 18% of respondents see the objective as "secondary." The results reflect a growing awareness of diplomacy after years of back-to-back crises, including the COVID-19 pandemi...

A spokesperson of the European Commission said on Monday that the European Union is "naturally concerned" by Russian officials' allegations that Kyiv was involved in Friday's shooting at a concert venue, which killed at least 137 and left more than 180 injured. The Kremlin's accusations have sparked fears in Europe that Putin could use the Moscow massacre to justify an escalation in Ukraine, now in its third year. "We reject this. There is no indication, no evidence, that Ukraine was linked to this attack," the bloc's spokesperson for foreign policy, Peter Stano, told reporters. "We call on th...

The breakthrough occurred during a meeting of the bloc's foreign affairs ministers on Monday, where the issue was put on the table to give diplomacy a new chance. "We discussed about the sanctions (on) Hamas. And we agreed on sanctions on extremist settlers. It was not possible last Foreign Affairs Council. This time has been possible. A solid compromise has been agreed at the working level and I hope this will continue until full adoption soon," the bloc's foreign policy chief announced at the end of the meeting. "But the political agreement is there." The sanctions have been in the works for...

Budapest refused to endorse the call, despite pressure from other capitals, and also single-handedly derailed EU plans to collectively slap sanctions on violent Israeli settlers, first tabled in December following a fresh bout of attacks on Palestinians in the West Bank. It followed ten hours of intense talks between EU foreign ministers on Monday, during which Hungary's Péter Szijjártó dug in his heels and blocked consensus on both issues. In a rare occurrence for the bloc, 26 of 27 member states isolated Hungary and issued their own statement calling for "an immediate humanitarian pause that...
