Europe's security 'fundamentally reshaped' by Ukraine war, Irish PM says

Taoiseach Micheál Martin told 50 leaders in Dublin that Russia's war in Ukraine has "fundamentally reshaped" Europe's security environment, as the European Political Community summit opened Thursday. The summit, part of Ireland's EU presidency, includes Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, who warned Europe must "pay attention" to US-Russia talks on security guarantees, calling the approach "a bit strange." Attendees include European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen and Nato chief Mark Rutte. Dublin is hosting the EPC for the first time under the theme "Europe – strong, secure, and connected," with discussions focused on Ukraine, AI, and hybrid threats. The event involves Ireland's largest-ever policing operation, with US envoys Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff also flying in to update Zelensky on talks with Putin.
