Focus on European security

The summit, which brings together leaders from 50 countries, will focus on issues of defense, economic stability, and the fight against hybrid threats. Officials from the Élysée Palace noted in СУСПІЛЬНЕ НОВИНИ that a special session will be dedicated to the situation in Ukraine to reaffirm the support of allies. Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk, in a quote cited in Укрінформ, emphasized the importance of dialogue during a time of "strategic chaos and geopolitical uncertainty" in the world.

Sources such as DW Україна note that alongside the war in Ukraine, the leaders will also discuss developments in the Middle East, with a focus on the ongoing war against Iran. The visit marks a significant step in tightening Kyiv's relations with the host, Armenia, which was presented in Ukraine context as a move expected to increase tensions in Moscow.
