Details: The European Council president cited two examples that, in his opinion, disprove the claim that Ukraine's counteroffensive has  "failed".

"Firstly, how the Ukrainian Army made huge progress in the Black Sea is extremely important. This is a major step in the right direction. Secondly, the recent progress made on the left side of the Dnipro River is also very important," he said.

Michel added that the EU should support Ukraine militarily, both by training Ukrainian servicemen and by supplying weapons.

"The current situation shows that we need to speed up and ramp up our production to support Ukraine. And also because in the future, we understand that the EU, which is a very strong economic actor, is very strong and powerful in terms of spreading common standards and internal norms across the world," the European official added.

Background:
