EU leaders debate ammunition aid for Ukraine amid Trump’s influence and internal divisions ahead of Paris summit.

In Short

EU leaders are struggling to agree on a €5 billion ammunition package for Ukraine, with discussions set for March 27. Despite differing national positions, support for Ukraine remains significant as tensions over US-led negotiations grow.

European Union leaders are currently facing challenges regarding weapons deliveries to Ukraine and representation in US-led diplomacy.

An EU summit in Brussels failed to reach an agreement on delivering €5 billion to Ukraine for ammunition procurement, with countries like France and Italy hesitant to commit funds. Further discussions are scheduled in Paris on March 27.

French President Macron emphasised the need for an explicit commitment to support Ukraine in the immediate term. Tensions arose during the summit as leaders expressed concerns about being sidelined in negotiations involving US President Trump, particularly regarding a recent agreement to halt attacks on energy infrastructure.

Military threats

Ukrainian President Zelenskiy stressed the importance of securing the €5 billion for ammunition immediately, citing ongoing military threats.

Upcoming discussions in Paris will involve several EU and non-EU countries to define Europe’s stance on the peace process. Macron noted Russia’s refusal to sincerely pursue peace and expressed disappointment over Putin’s stance against a ceasefire.

The EU’s foreign policy chief, Kaja Kallas, previously proposed a military aid package of €40 billion for 2025, but current talks are focusing on ammunition specifics.

Despite some nations’ concerns about financial contributions, the overall support for Ukraine remains strong. However, Hungary continues to oppose aiding Ukraine, and efforts to achieve consensus among all 27 EU states were halted.
