European leaders meet in Dublin to discuss Ukraine, AI, and security

Around 50 European leaders are meeting in Dublin for a two-day summit focused on Ukraine, European security, and economic challenges, including artificial intelligence. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy is expected to seek more military and financial support. The European Political Community summit, launched by French President Emmanuel Macron, includes EU members plus the UK, Turkey, Ukraine, Moldova, and Balkan and Caucasus states. Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney and NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte are also expected to attend Thursday's talks. On Friday, EU leaders will discuss AI competitiveness against US dominance and societal impacts, plus Ukraine's financial needs after Zelenskyy requested 70 billion euros for 2027. Discussions will also address who should represent the EU in future Russia-Ukraine peace talks.
