“The breakfast meeting was a failure. Of the 19 leaders, only a few were able to speak,” the document said. It is worth noting that Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni, German Prime Minister Friedrich Merz and French President Emmanuel Macron also arrived late after the meeting was interrupted. As a result, 19 out of 27 EU leaders attended the event, which “caused concern” for those who were not invited, as the negotiations were held in a closed-door format. According to the publication, the purpose of the informal summit is to discuss further developing the common market and increasing the competitiveness of the European economy. It has previously been reported that the European Union's economic losses have caused unprecedented damage to the region. This figure includes direct and indirect losses due to Russia's refusal to provide energy sources, cutting off trade relations and the subsequent series of crises in the EU economy. Let us remind you that the content of the new sanctions package against the Russian Federation has been revealed in Europe. The head of the European Commission said that the 20th package of restrictions will include a ban on the transportation of Russian oil and that 20 Russian regional banks will also contribute to this. The sanctions are expected to be passed before February 24. Image generated with AI / Margarita Neklyudova
