Michel announced this at NATO headquarters on Thursday, where he met with NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg. The meeting was also attended by European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen. He said that in addition to the sanctions package, the EU summit will decide on political, financial and humanitarian assistance to Ukraine and its people. Innocent people have been killed. Women, men, children are fleeing fearing for their lives. They need our support more than ever, he said. He promised to also discuss the geopolitical and economic consequences of aggression against Ukraine.
