European leaders are convening in Brussels for a special defense summit, with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky invited to attend. The summit aims to support Ukraine and bolster European defenses, with discussions expected to centre on financing increased military spending.

Ursula Von Der Leyen
European Commission
1. The question is no longer whether Europe's security is threatened in a very real way.
2. Or whether Europe should shoulder more of the responsibility for its own security. In truth, we have long known the answers to those questions.
3. Europe faces a clear and present danger, and therefore Europe has to be able to protect itself, to defend itself, as we have to put Ukraine in a position to protect itself and to push for a lasting and just peace.
Mette Frederiksen
Social Democratic Party
1. That is the most important message, and at the same time, of course, continue to support Ukraine, because we want peace in Europe.
Emmanuel Macron
Renaissance
1. The United States, our ally, has changed its position on this war, is less supportive of Ukraine and is casting doubt on what will happen next.
2. We have to be united and determined to protect ourselves.
Viktor Orban
Fidesz
1. One side insists on prolonging the war in Ukraine, while the other seeks an end to the conflict.
Donald Tusk
Civic Platform
1. Europe as a whole is truly capable of winning any military, financial, economic confrontation with Russia – we are simply stronger.
António Costa
EU Council
1. Hungary has a different strategic approach on Ukraine, but that means Hungary is isolated among the 27.
Gunther Eagleman
1. It's time to leave Nato and the United Nations (UN).
Candace Owens
1. People who grew up with the memory of the Cold War and a real fear of nuclear war are easily persuaded by the mainstream media's insistence that Russia is the world's enemy and too many of them seem unwilling to consider our new reality: Ukraine, money-laundering, and Nato are entirely problematic.
