Zelenskyy warns Russia's leader remains aggressive at Dublin summit

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy warned at a European summit in Dublin that Russia's leader is angry and wants to continue attacks, prompting the EU to promise new sanctions and economic support for Ukraine. Zelenskyy welcomed Europe's partial involvement in talks with Russia in Abu Dhabi, noting Europeans are engaged but not yet at the table when Russians are present. He expressed regret that Ukraine's proposals for de-escalation received no traction, saying his delegation heard the Russian leader remains aggressive. The EU Commission announced a 22nd sanctions package against Russia and a financial support plan for Ukraine, to be presented at the next EU summit in Brussels on November 26–27. Britain added sanctions against Russian oil company Slavneft, while EU leaders debated who should represent the bloc in potential Russia talks.
