EU defence ministers meet in Brussels to discuss the bloc’s threat assessment, support for Ukraine, and potential help for the Middle East. Foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas says ministers will consider how to use a €90bn loan and how to ensure it meets Ukraine’s urgent needs. The meeting also focuses on increasing domestic defence manufacturing across Europe to address growing demand. The agenda reflects warnings about an increasingly assertive Russia. Alongside the EU talks, Hungary’s new government led by Peter Magyar is expected to be formally appointed, with the new prime minister asking the president, a loyalist of Viktor Orban, to stay out of the pictures. Brussels faces travel disruptions due to major union strikes, while Moldova prepares to report for duty ahead of the first Eurovision semi-final in Vienna.
