At the #Gymnich in Cyprus 🇨🇾 today, discussing: ➡️ the impact of the crisis in the Middle East and the wider region, ➡️ the EU’s core interests vis-à-vis Russia.

European Union leaders convened in Cyprus for an informal summit to explore the practical implications of Article 42.7 of the EU treaties concerning mutual assistance in armed attacks, while also addressing key issues such as Ukraine's EU membership bid, the ongoing conflicts in Ukraine and the Middle East, and future long-term EU budget plans, amid the notable absence of Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán. #EUSummit #MutualAssistance #EUForeignPolicy #EU #CY #US #RU #UA #IR #FR #HU #IT #ES #PL
