1. Recalling its conclusions of March 2024, the European Council reiterates its full unwavering support to Ukraine, its people and its independence, sovereignty and territorial integrity within its internationally recognised borders.
2. European Council strongly condemns Russia’s continued air and missile attacks against Ukraine’s civilians and civilian and critical infrastructure, including the recent intensified targeting of the energy sector. The European Union and its Member States will intensify the provision of humanitarian and civil protection assistance, including equipment such as power generators and power transformers.
3. The European Council underlines the need to urgently provide air defence to Ukraine and to speed up and intensify the delivery of all the necessary military assistance, including artillery ammunition and missiles. It calls on the Council, notably at its upcoming meeting, and on Member States to ensure the necessary follow-up. The European Council welcomes progress on the proposals to direct extraordinary revenues stemming from Russia’s immobilised assets for the benefit of Ukraine and calls for their swift adoption.
Military support will be provided in full respect of the security and defence policy of certain Member States and taking into account the security and defence interests of all Member States.
