The foreign ministers of the 27 EU states, including the Austrian department head Alexander Schallenberg (ÖVP), want to discuss the Middle East crisis and further support for Ukraine in the war once morest Russia in Luxembourg on Monday. When it comes to the Middle East, the question is how the EU can help prevent a regional escalation of the conflict. With regard to Ukraine, it must be clarified how the EU should participate in security commitments from the West.
EU foreign policy chief Josep Borrell has suggested making longer-term financing commitments for military aid and also using EU money to support the delivery of modern fighter jets and missiles. Specifically, he wants to mobilize five billion euros annually from 2024 to the end of 2027. It was previously considered unlikely that there would be far-reaching decisions on the major issues at the ministerial meeting. Another topic at the ministerial meeting is the conflict between Armenia and Azerbaijan.
