Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelensky has stated that he expects Western partners to take “major efforts” to assist Ukraine in its struggle against Russia. The day-long summit will begin at NATO’s headquarters in Brussels, where the leaders of the transatlantic defense organization will agree to increase military deployments on Europe’s eastern flank. “Vladimir Putin has already crossed the red line into savagery,” says British Prime Minister Boris Johnson. “Vladimir Putin has crossed the red line into savagery,” British Prime Minister Boris Johnson stated, adding, “The tougher our sanctions, the more we can do to support Ukraine, the sooner this thing may be ended.”

Then, with a summit of the 27-nation European Union, countries representing more than half of the global GDP would have gathered in a single day. Thousands of people have been murdered and about a quarter of Ukraine’s 44 million people have been forced to flee their homes as a result of Russia’s attack on the country.

Putin claims to be conducting a “special military operation” to demilitarise and “denazify” Ukraine. At a two-day conference, EU leaders are anticipated to agree to buy gas in bulk, reducing their dependency on Russian supplies. In addition, Brussels hopes to reach an agreement with US Vice President Joe Biden to guarantee more natural gas supply for the next two winters.
