Second Day Of AN EU Summit

BRUSSELS, BELGIUM - MARCH 22: President of the European Council Charles Michel rings the bell for the second day of an EU Summit in the Europa building, the EU Council headquarter on March 22, 2024 in Brussels, Belgium. He is flanked by his sherpa, head of cabinet Frederic Bernard. On the second day, the leaders will discuss external relations and agriculture. Two years into Russia's war of aggression against Ukraine and 10 years after Russia's illegal annexation of Crimea and Sevastopol, EU leaders stated that they were ever more steadfast in their support for Ukraine and that Russia must not prevail. Given the urgency of the situation, the EU is determined to continue to provide Ukraine and its people with all of the necessary political, financial, economic, humanitarian, military and diplomatic support for as long as it takes and as intensely as needed.
