European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen delivered a major press briefing following the EU summit, outlining key decisions on global security, trade, and economic policy.

On Ukraine, she confirmed strong EU support for President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, highlighting the opening of negotiation clusters and the extension of sanctions against Russia for up to 12 months. She stressed continued pressure through a new sanctions package aimed at maintaining leverage in future negotiations.

On the Middle East, Von der Leyen welcomed an interim agreement involving the United States and Iran, describing it as a breakthrough for regional stability, particularly regarding nuclear concerns and freedom of navigation through the Strait of Hormuz.

She also addressed growing global trade tensions, warning about rising imbalances linked to China, overcapacity in industrial production, and increasing EU trade deficits. She emphasized the need for “de-risking, not decoupling” and stronger EU tools to protect European industries.

Finally, she confirmed progress on the next EU multiannual financial framework (MFF), calling for a simpler, more competitive, and better-funded European budget to support agriculture, security, and innovation.
