The 27 EU heads of state and government, including Chancellor Karl Nehammer (ÖVP), are concerned with supporting Ukraine in the face of the Russian war of aggression and illegal migration in Brussels on Thursday. Even if not officially on the agenda, the EU summit is also likely to discuss the possible effects of the revolt by the Wagner mercenary group in Russia on Europe. Before the start of the summit (from 1 p.m.) there will be an exchange with NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg.

Intensive debates are expected on the subject of migration, because not everyone is satisfied with the breakthrough achieved in mid-June on central asylum issues. Poland and Hungary had already announced that they would neither take in those seeking protection nor make compensation payments. Nehammer urged that the most recent asylum agreement be implemented in practice, for example through agreements with North African countries on processing centers. On Friday we continue with the topics of economy and China.
