The European Council meeting in Brussels focused on key strategic issues facing the EU. Leaders discussed continued support for Ukraine, including financial assistance and the use of frozen Russian assets, while also assessing ways to increase pressure on Russia. Defence readiness was&nbsp;a major topic, with discussions on accelerating capability development, countering hybrid threats, and enhancing European defence coordination by 2030.

Competitiveness and the digital and green transitions were also&nbsp;addressed. Leaders seeked solutions to reduce bureaucratic burdens, ensure digital sovereignty, and support the path to climate neutrality. Economic discussions included the current outlook, the role of the euro, and the potential for a digital euro.

Other key topics included improving access to affordable housing across Member States, supporting peace and reconstruction efforts in Gaza, and continuing work on EU migration policy.
