Details: Political issues and bilateral relations are to be discussed at the meeting.

Quote: "During a restricted session the EU and Ukraine will exchange views on the situation following Russia’s war of aggression, focusing on the military, economic and humanitarian situation on the ground and the response to Russia’s war. They will then touch on wider global and regional issues."

After that the participants will exchange their opinions on the bilateral agenda, mainly:

• the implementation of the Association Agreement since the start of the Russian war of aggression
• the implementation of the European Commission Ukraine country report recommendations
• the issue of reconstruction and reforms in Ukraine, including EU financial assistance

Background:

• Foreign ministers of the EU member states have adopted a final decision to allocate an additional €5 billion for military support to Ukraine under the European Peace Facility.
• Since 2022, the EU has been providing military assistance to Ukraine through the European Peace Facility, which reimburses member states for weapons provided to Ukraine.
• Funding is provided in tranches that can be blocked by individual member states. In recent months, this has been done by Hungary, which refused to approve a €500 million replenishment of the European Peace Facility under various pretexts.
