EU foreign ministers meet in Luxembourg to discuss support for Ukraine

European foreign ministers gathered in Luxembourg on Monday to discuss new measures aimed at strengthening support for Ukraine, as Kyiv continues to press its allies for advanced weapons and sustained military aid.

The meeting follows last week’s discussions in Washington, where Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy failed to secure a U.S. commitment to provide long-range missiles, a key request in Kyiv’s effort to repel Russian forces.

Diplomats say the Luxembourg talks are expected to focus on replenishing ammunition stockpiles, expanding defense production within the European Union, and ensuring long-term security guarantees for Ukraine.

William Denselow reports from Brussels that while the EU remains united in its backing of Ukraine, some member states are grappling with political fatigue and domestic economic pressures that could complicate future funding commitments.

The meeting comes amid intensifying Russian attacks on Ukraine’s energy infrastructure and growing concerns about the approaching winter. EU officials are expected to reaffirm their support for Ukraine’s sovereignty while urging coordination with NATO and the United States on future military assistance.
