EU summit before Christmas: Friedensappell falls in geopolitics chaos!

Laimgrubengasse 10, 1060 Wien, Österreich - On December 19, 2024, the European Council in Brussels looks at urgent geopolitical crises, while the pre -Christmas season is close. Instead of seriously dealing with peace initiatives, security guarantees and support for Ukraine dominate the agenda. "It is incredible and almost tragic that the EU simply does not come to the inspection. This war has to be ended and not always extended," said Harald Vilimsky, Head of Delegation of the FPÖ in the European Parliament. It is also required to take concrete measures for the reconstruction of Syria and the return of refugees instead of waiting for whether the situation is solved by itself, as Vilimsky emphasizes, while the EU continues to discuss measures to support the Ukrainian population, as bundeskanzleramt reported.

A central result of the latest conference is the formal recognition of Ukraine and the Republic of Moldova as an EU candidate. This decision, made by the 27 EU heads of state and government, was celebrated as a "historical moment". Ukraine had submitted its application for membership just four days after the Russian attack. Nevertheless, the accession negotiations on the fulfillment of specific reform requirements in the judicial area and to combat corruption are linked before the conversations can begin. Chancellor Nehammer emphasizes that the Balkans should not be forgotten and strengthens the European perspective of this region, whereby Bosnia and Herzegovina could soon receive the status of an accession candidate, according to ots.at

These developments are carried out against the background of a continuing nutritional and energy crisis, which is tightened by the Russian attack war in Ukraine. The European Council confirms its support for Ukraine and wants to combat the food crisis through increased cooperation with international partners. The EU is called up to find clear regional solutions, while the challenges of conflicts and politics put in the foreground, which underlines the urgency of real -acting aid measures.
