The signals it is sending point to something entirely different and certainly do not bring peace any closer. After overnight Russian strikes on energy infrastructure, Russia carried out a horrific strike on Kharkiv this morning. Two people have already been reported killed. My condolences to their families and loved ones. Seventeen others were injured. Russia also struck a shopping mall in Rivne and energy facilities in four regions. \n European leadership is needed to ensure that people\u2019s lives are sufficiently protected from this Russian terror. We appreciate that everything we agree on is implemented promptly. Today, we discussed further assistance, first and foremost for our energy and air defense needs. We talked about support for our financial resilience, including for next year, and coordinated our work on the European integration track. It is important that new negotiating clusters were opened this week. We are working to open the remaining two by the end of the year. Thank you, Ant\u00f3nio! Thank you, Ursula!

Photograph: Nicolas Maeterlinck/Belga/ShutterstockFrederiksen rejects Trump's suggestion Zelenskyy is 'more difficult to deal with than Putin'Speaking to Newsmax last night, Donald Trump repeated his views of the two leaders involved in the conflict.\u201cI\u2019m not a big fan of Zelenskyy,\u201d Trump said. \u201cI think they actually both would like to see it \u2060end, but I think I find Zelenskyy to be more difficult to deal with than Putin.\u201dBut Denmark\u2019s influential PM Mette Frederiksen has made it clear in her doorstep comments that she did not agree with that view.\u201cI disagree with what was said last night; fundamentally, I do not believe Putin can be trusted nor that we should be cooperating with Russia.\u201d\n \u201cSo, our perspectives on this differ significantly. It is crucial that everyone in the Nato alliance understands that when Europe is attacked, European security \u2013 and by extension, the security of the entire alliance \u2013 is under threat. Therefore, we must continue to defend ourselves, while also continuing to build up our military capabilities.\u201d\nDanish prime minister Mette Frederiksen speaks to the media on the second day of a two-day European Council summit in Brussels, Belgium.

support Ukraine, Latvian PM saysZelenskyy warns against Putin using energy to 'tempt the world into looking the other way'The full text of Zelenskyy\u2019s address, released by his office, also includes some further interesting nuggets.Describing Putin\u2019s Russia as an existential long-term threat to Europe, he explained:\n \u201cSome of today\u2019s European leaders, some of today\u2019s people running in elections and taking part in politics in your countries were still at school when Putin was already waging war. And even back when Bill Clinton was still President of the United States, Putin was already waging war. Against the Chechens. And that war taught Putin a lesson.\n If he uses oil and gas to tempt the world, many politicians look the other way \u2013 even when cities are turned to rubble and villages are burned to the ground. That is exactly how Putin has been running things ever since. And he always has some \u201cexcuse\u201d for why he can\u2019t live in peace with one country or another.\u201d\nHe also tried to set out a pan-European logic for fighting Putin, saying:\n \u201cThat is why the EU \u2013 and your unity, and every truly independent European country \u2013 is a target for him.\n Not because you are doing something wrong. Not because someone once offended Russia or failed to give Putin something he wanted. Putin only gets along with those who want to wage wars themselves and have no respect for human life. If he wins, everything that holds you together and keeps your people living in peace will simply be gone. Look at what he has been saying all these years. He has a problem with everything that happened after 1985. We don\u2019t want to go back there.\n It\u2019s important that people understand this across the whole European Union \u2013 from Poland and Finland and all the Nordic countries to France, Spain, and Italy.\n We may argue and disagree on politics. Sometimes we have serious disagreements over decisions. And that\u2019s normal for democracies \u2013 I\u2019m sure.\n Despite all our differences, we all want the same thing \u2013 a security system that really works and can deal with today\u2019s threats.\u201d\nThere is also a nice touch as Zelenskyy paid tribute to Italy\u2019s Giorgia Meloni \u2013 although she is not mentioned by name \u2013 after she delivered a rousing speech in the Italian parliament, explicitly warning about Russia.Italian prime minister Giorgia Meloni speaks as she talks ahead of the upcoming European Council meeting. Photograph: Riccardo Antimiani/EPASpeaking in the Senate on Wednesday, Meloni said:\n \u201cIf Ukraine stopped defending itself tomorrow, as many are hoping and proposing, we would not have peace. We would be discussing the occupation of a European nation and the return of the Soviet-style imperialism that Europe has known for half a century.\n Personally, I don\u2019t miss those years. I don\u2019t miss the Russian tanks that repressed the uprisings in Prague and Budapest. I don\u2019t miss the Berlin Wall.\u201d\nZelenskyy responded to that in his speech:\n \u201cI am grateful to every one of you who does not miss the tanks that crushed the uprisings in Prague and Budapest \u2013 or the Berlin Wall.\u201d\nYou may think it\u2019s a small detail, but be in no doubt: everyone in that room knew what he referred to.Zelenskyy's address to EU leaders includes targeted praise for 'people with good hearts' in America and request for further funding for UkraineUkraine\u2019s Zelenskyy has just released five clips from his earlier address to the EU leaders, delivered behind the closed doors, and there are some really striking bits there.EU heads of state and government at the roundtable in Brussels, with Ukraine\u2019s Zelenskyy next to EU\u2019s Ant\u00f3nio Costa Photograph: dts News Agency Germany Michael Kappeler Pool/ShutterstockHe started with general praise for the EU \u2026\n \u201cUnity in defence is always built by many, many standing together, and without a determined European Union capable of making strong decisions, Putin would have gone much further by now.\n The European Union has not fallen apart, and it has not backed down or given in to fear when it came to defending the European way of life, and that mattered just as much as the courage of Ukrainians.\u201d\n\u2026 before turning to the most controversial issue of Ukraine\u2019s relations with the US under Trump, and seemingly making a direct reference to the upcoming midterm elections in the US.\n \u201cI am grateful to all of you who are trying to keep Europe and the United States together. There are so many people with good hearts in America who sincerely want evil to lose and Ukraine to stand strong, and these are the very hearts that helped Europe defend its freedom and that fought on D-Day, won the Cold War and won want is best for Europe, Hearts that want to be allies, not to divide or humiliate Europe, and I believe most Americans still feel this way.\n And at the end of the day, the American people will have their say.\n Putin will listen to America if America really turns up the heat on him and makes one thing clear: either he chooses peace or he gets no more money for his war.\u201d\nZelenskyy also specifically criticised the US-Russia diesel deal once again, warning that lifting any sanctions anywhere will create incentives for Russia to try and get them removed elsewhere \u2013 just as what is needed is exactly the opposite.\n \u201cWe warned that if sanctions are eased \u2026 anywhere in Europe, others will quickly \u2026 take advantage of it, and now we can see how cash will start flowing back into Russia through the diesel deal.\n This diesel deal will never be enough to offset the impact of the Strait of Hormuz on global markets, but it will put more money straight into Putin\u2019s pocket to fund this war.\n And we need a strong 22nd package, EU sanctions package, please. And please, we need real sanctions against every company and every person involved in making Russian ballistic missiles, advanced communications systems, and drones, and those involved in Russia\u2019s financial system.\u201d\nHe also laid bare Ukraine\u2019s pressing financial needs, asking for this issue to be included in planning for the EU\u2019s next budget:\n \u201cThe war will cost 155 billion euros next year, and we need at least 70 billion euros more from you for defence, for weapons, and for our resilience. This is a realistic, yeah, a realistic amount.\n And I ask you to find this support. It will help us hold Russia back.\n And there are some very simple facts. We stop most Russian assaults on the frontline thanks to drones, and we cut Russian supply lines with these technologies. Our drones are helping to weaken Russia\u2019s economy.\n Right now, we could produce two or three times more drones, depending on the type. But we simply, simply, don\u2019t have enough money for that. It\u2019s true. Just imagine if we could put two or three times more pressure on Russia than we do today.\n We believe this war will be over as soon as possible, but Putin plans to stick around much longer.\n He is building a Russia that looks like North Korea, where children are raised from an early age for war and to die for their leader.\n So Russia will not stop being dangerous, and it\u2019s our Ukrainian strength, our army, our technology that help guarantee also European security, your security.\n These security guarantees are not yet reflected as we think in your budget from 2028 onward. So let\u2019s get serious about it. Let\u2019s work out exactly how Ukraine\u2019s defence capabilities should be included in that budget.\u201d\nJakub KrupaThat\u2019s a brave response from Zelenskyy, but I\u2019m not sure he had any better option available to him. We all know the answer to this question.Zelenskyy smiles at suggestion he's a 'scapegoat' for Trump's problems ahead of midtermsOh, that\u2019s tasty.Zelenskyy got asked by Sky News if he feels he\u2019s being treated as a scapegoat for Trump\u2019s domestic problems ahead of the tricky midterm elections.In response, he pauses for 15 seconds, and eventually smiles before saying:\n \u201cThis is my answer.\u201d\nOuch.Zelenskyy answers question on whether he thinks he's a scapegoat for pressures facing TrumpAnd the press conference immediately wraps up after that.Putin 'wants to destroy us' as he questions Ukraine's 'existence,' Zelenskyy warnsAsked again if he\u2019s feeling some pressure among European leaders or fearing potential changes in European politics with big elections coming up next year, he says that he \u201cfeels full support from Europe now.\u201d\u201cEurope is very united and it\u2019s cognisant of all of the risks,\u201d he says.He says the war clearly shows \u201cmajor risks for Europe\u201d as he recalls recent incidents in Bulgaria, Germany, Poland, Romania.\u201cEurope understands as long as Ukraine stands, there will be fewer escalation with Russia,\u201d he says.He says Russia\u2019s demands are not about Donbas or any part of its territory, but about \u201cour country\u2019s existence.\u201d\n \u201cWe\u2019re now standing and fighting. What\u2019s the alternative? Annihilation.\u201d\nHe says Putin \u201cwants to destroy us,\u201d and \u201cdoes not respect our sovereignty and territorial integrity.\u201d\n \u201cSo you really trust that he needs only a part of our country?\u201d\nHe also warns that any further progress in Ukraine could also trigger a wave of Ukrainian migrants in Europe.Zelenskyy says that he often hears from Trump that he just wants to \u201cstop the killings.\u201d\n \u201cYes, [but] Russia is killing us, on our territory. They came on our land and further pushing further. They don\u2019t want to stop. They even don\u2019t want to freeze [the conflict], as you see. And what will be after that? On what borders will he [stop]?\u201d\nVisibly frustrated, he says that more than 1,000 drones were sent to Ukraine yesterday, but the American side \u201csaid that it\u2019s difficult to speak with Zelenskyy.\u201d'I\u2019m only standing up for Ukraine\u2019s interests,' Zelenskyy says after Trump's comments comparing him with PutinZelenskyy gets asked about Trump\u2019s comments that he is more difficult to deal with than Putin (11:09).He says that in his meetings with Trump he always found topics for discussion and decisions.\u201cI\u2019m only standing up for Ukraine\u2019s interests,\u201d he says, responding to Russian attacks.\n \u201cAnd no matter how Russia would like to limit all of our rights, it\u2019s clear that we do have a right to defend ourselves.\u201d\nHe says Putin \u201cdoes not seek negotiations in any format,\u201d but only \u201cplaying these games of words.\u201d \u201cHe does not want the war to end,\u201d he says, saying Putin\u2019s actions are a \u201cparody\u201d of efforts to end the war.He says that\u2019s why he cannot accept any diesel deals with the US, because they will then be followed by gas agreements or other attempts to lift sanctions on Russia or its frozen assets, banking system, chemical industry, certain Russian individuals.\n \u201cIf I don\u2019t stand up to this, if I don\u2019t defend it, who else will do this diplomatically?\u201d\nZelenskyy praises 'very good' meeting with Hungary's MagyarAsked about his relationship with Hungary\u2019s Magyar (13:08), Zelenskyy says it was \u201ca very good meeting\u201d on the economy, logistics, energy.He says he is \u201cnot against\u201d meeting the Hungarian PM in Budapest next.Zelenskyy says he heard 'only support' from EU leaders despite his clash with Trump over diesel dealZelenskyy gets asked if he heard any criticism from fellow leaders to his response to the US deal with Russia on diesel.He says he \u201cheard \u2026 only support,\u201d and he is \u201cgrateful to them for this.\u201dHe says the diesel deal caught Ukraine by surprise, and he believes Ukraine \u201cshould be aware of these things.\u201dHe says despite all of that Ukraine is ready to support an energy ceasefire, but \u201cit all depends on Russia and they do not want it.\u201d\n \u201cAnd if there is no energy ceasefire, give us anti-ballistic missiles so that I can protect my energy facilities \u2013 \u2026 not too many, but for the period \u2026 of the diesel deal.\u201d\nHe says Ukrainian negotiators are in touch with their US counterparts, and \u201cin the coming days, they will arrange a meeting at a certain level,\u201d and they will keep discussing it.Zelenskyy declines to say if Ukraine targets Russian refineriesZelenskyy gets directly asked if Ukraine is hitting refineries in Russia.He says he \u201cusually don\u2019t communicate\u201d the details of Ukraine\u2019s military operations, but says \u201cthe main rule of our operations is to respond.\u201dEarlier he said Europe is \u201cmaking certain steps\u201d to have its own track in peace negotiations, but he didn\u2019t offer more details on that.Europe has enough interceptors to help Ukraine get through winter, Zelenskyy saysZelenskyy says that Ukraine\u2019s requests for further help ahead of this winter cover \u201cthe bare minimum\u201d needed.He says it\u2019s unclear what Ukraine could get, but he is confident that European countries have enough interceptors to share and \u201cgo through this winter.\u201dHe also says the focus is on producing a new anti-ballistic system and make it \u201cquicker to produce, cheaper to produce\u201d and then share with the rest of Europe.Zelenskyy says Starlink speeds not completely restored, Ukraine struggling with air defenceZelenskyy then gets asked about media reports that Ukraine is running out of Patriot interceptors and its reliance on Starlink.He acknowledges that Ukraine is \u201cnot a priority destination\u201d for deliveries funded by Europe, but thanks for all help it can get.\u201cWe are picking them up where we can: one or two here, five there, ten there, arranging all of this and bringing them to Ukraine,\u201d he says.On Starlink, he says Ukraine \u201cis working with some countries, including France\u201d on additional capabilities.Zelenskyy also addresses the issue of intelligence sharing with Ukraine.He says \u201cmany countries are sharing their intel with us, \u2026 dozens of countries.\u201dBut he then gets asked again for a straight clarification on what is the status of both Starlink (or its military version, Starshield) and US intel.On Starlink, he says \u201ccertain speed levels are needed\u201d for its military to work properly \u2013 not for \u201cdeep strikes inside Russia,\u201d but for its defence operations, particularly against Russian jet-powered drones.\u201cThis is why it was a very dangerous and unpleasant surprise,\u201d he says.\u201cStarlink was not turned off, but the speed limits were lowered \u2026 and we were incapable of shooting down some Shahed drones, and were no longer able to use one of the tools to protect our population,\u201d he says.Jet-powered Shaheds move at 400 km/h, and the speed limits were reduced to 70 km/h, he says.He says the technology is also used for \u201cmid-range strikes against military targets,\u201d and for logistics deliveries.\n \u201cOur defence ministry is in touch and my partners, they told me that there were signals from the White House that they would return these capabilities. Have they returned to the previous speed limits? No. But is it coming back now? Yes.\u201d\nUkraine expects additional F-16s by the end of the year, Zelenskyy saysThe briefing kicks off with Zelenskyy getting a question about Russian frozen assets and Belgium\u2019s opposition to the issue.He says by thanking Belgium for hosting the summit and for his meetings with PM de Wever and the Belgian king, Philippe. Ukraine expects additional F-16 from Belgium to be delivered by the end of the year.Turning to frozen assets, he says \u201cof course\u201d he is raising this issue again.He says Ukraine \u201cwould want to receive these funds in a certain format\u201d and wants them to be safeguarded from Russia, \u201cbecause we know very clearly that they want to bring these assets back.\u201dZelenskyy holds press conference after talks with EU leaders - watch liveJakub KrupaZelenskyy is finally here to brief the media after his EU talks in Brussels.I will bring you all the key lines here, but you can also watch along here:Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelenskiy holds press conference at EU summit - watch liveHungary's Magyar hopes for new opening with Ukraine after talks with ZelenskyyWe are still waiting for Zelenskyy to show up to his press conference, but in the meantime we have just heard from Hungary\u2019s P\u00e9ter Magyar after his first meeting with the Ukrainian president.Ukraine\u2019s president Volodymyr Zelenskyy and Hungary\u2019s prime minister P\u00e9ter Magyar shake hands ahead of a round table as part of a European Union summit at the EU headquarters in Brussels. Photograph: Ludovic Marin/AFP/Getty ImagesThe pair have a long list of tricky topics to discuss given Hungary\u2019s tense relations with Ukraine under the previous government of Viktor Orb\u00e1n, including the issue of minority rights for Hungarians in Ukraine, which is critical to Kyiv\u2019s ambitions of joining the EU.But the noises coming from that meeting are positive.In a statement after the talks, Magyar welcomed the Ukrainian parliament\u2019s adoption of a new law on minority education as \u201ca first step towards restoring mutual trust,\u201d and the two sides will \u201ccontinue consultations \u2026 at the ministerial level.\u201d\u201cWe agreed that it is in the interest of both countries to place their political and economic relations on a new foundation,\u201d he said.In sharp contrast to his predecessor, Magyar also declared his strong solidarity with Zelenskyy \u201cin the face of inhumane Russian aggression against his country.\u201d\u201cHungary stands ready to provide assistance, through all available diplomatic means, towards achieving an immediate ceasefire and a lasting peace,\u201d he said.Jakub KrupaBack to Brussels, we are expecting to hear from Ukraine\u2019s Volodymyr Zelenskyy shortly, as he is about to deliver a press conference after his talks with EU leaders.I will bring you all the key lines here when he steps up to the podium.Italy sees air traffic disrupted by data issues, but rules out 'malicious activity'Separately, Italy is struggling with technical issues affecting the data transmission network for air traffic control, with lengthy delays at airports across the country affecting thousands of passengers.Transport minister Matteo Salvini is \u201cmonitoring\u201d the situation closely, his ministry said, with particular focus on ensuring the safety of operations, La Repubblica reported.The air navigation operator ENAV ruled out any \u201cmalicious activity,\u201d and said the disruption was due to technical issues with the system managed by telecom operator TIM, Corriere della Sera said.Italy, Spain reportedly close to dropping post-Ceuta temporary border controlsItaly and Spain are reported to be close to dropping temporary border controls, introduced after the migration crisis in Ceuta in late August.Spanish police check documents of travellers from Italy amid a dispute over irregular migration. Photograph: Spanish Police/ReutersThe move, reported in the Italian and Spanish press, was reportedly discussed on the sidelines of the ongoing EU summit in Brussels, with Spanish PM Pedro S\u00e1nchez and Italian PM Giorgia Meloni meeting on Thursday night.The current thinking includes Italy extending its measures for seven days to align their expiry date with the Spanish restriction, when both would get lifted simultaneously on 22 October, El Pa\u00eds reported.Italy first suspended Schengen arrangements with Spain in late July, much to criticism from Spain.EU leaders call for progress on European Starlink rivalIn their doorstep comments, EU leaders also called for Europe to do more on reducing Ukraine\u2019s dependence on the US Starlink satellite communications system.A Ukrainian serviceman of 47th brigade prepares a Starlink satellite internet systems at his positions at a front line in Russian-occupied parts of Ukraine. Photograph: ReutersThe bloc\u2019s foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas said Europe did not have a readily available alternative to technology controlled by Elon Musk\u2019s SpaceX, AFP reported.\u201cStarlink is really necessary for Ukraine and unfortunately in (the) short term Europe can\u2019t replace this capability,\u201d Kallas said before the talks.\u201cStarlink is the key for Ukraine actually to fight or fight back,\u201d Latvian prime minister Andris Kulbergs told reporters.Dutch prime minister Rob Jetten said he had discussed with French president Emmanuel Macron \u201chow we, as Europeans, can provide more of these kinds of services in the not too distant future\u201d.Bloomberg reported that the European Union will look to fast-track antitrust approvals for a rival European project.'European leadership needed to ensure people are ... protected from Russian terror,' Zelenskyy saysUkraine\u2019s president Volodymyr Zelenskyy said he discussed financial support for Ukraine with the presidents of the European Commission and European Council on the margins of the EU summit in Brussels.European Council president Ant\u00f3nio Costa, speaks with Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelenskyy during a round table meeting at the EU summit in Brussels. Photograph: Geert Vanden Wijngaert/APIn a post on X, he said:\n \u201cI had a good meeting with the President of the European Council, Ant\u00f3nio Costa @eucopresident, and the President of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen @vonderleyen. \n Right now, there are no signals from Russia that it is ready to end its war. The signals it is sending point to something entirely different and certainly do not bring peace any closer. After overnight Russian strikes on energy infrastructure, Russia carried out a horrific strike on Kharkiv this morning. Two people have already been reported killed. My condolences to their families and loved ones. Seventeen others were injured. Russia also struck a shopping mall in Rivne and energy facilities in four regions. \n European leadership is needed to ensure that people\u2019s lives are sufficiently protected from this Russian terror. We appreciate that everything we agree on is implemented promptly. Today, we discussed further assistance, first and foremost for our energy and air defense needs. We talked about support for our financial resilience, including for next year, and coordinated our work on the European integration track. It is important that new negotiating clusters were opened this week. We are working to open the remaining two by the end of the year. Thank you, Ant\u00f3nio! Thank you, Ursula!
