В четверг (18 июня) в рамках встречи лидеров Восточного партнерства, которая состоялась посредством видеоконференции, лидеры ЕС обсудили со своими шестью восточными партнерами - Арменией, Азербайджаном, Беларусью, Грузией, Республикой Молдова и Украиной - ответ на COVID-19, последствия кризиса, стратегическое партнерство и его будущее.

Лидеры подчеркнули важность солидарности во время кризиса COVID-19, включая существенную поддержку ЕС в борьбе с последствиями вспышки в регионе Восточного партнерства (ВП).

Они подтвердили свою приверженность и большое значение, которое они придают Восточному партнерству в качестве приоритета внешней политики, и выделили различные области сотрудничества, такие как соглашения о торговле, безвизовом режиме или упрощении визового режима.

Выступая в ходе виртуальной пресс-конференции после видеоконференции, президент Европейского совета Чарльз Мишель заявил, что в ходе встречи лидеры «выразили политическую волю к продолжению строительства зоны общей демократии, процветания и стабильности, закрепленной в нашей общей ценности, через правила международного порядка и международного права".

Было также решено, что в марте 2021 года в Брюсселе состоится физический саммит, в ходе которого лидеры утвердят пять политических приоритетов в совместной декларации.

Trump says Ukraine should give up land for peace as preparations start for US-Russia summit

U.S. President  Donald Trump said that the Donbas region in the east of Ukraine should be “cut up,” leaving most of it in Russian hands, to end a  war that has dragged on for nearly four years. Trump has edged back in the direction of pressing Ukraine to give up on retaking land it has lost to Russia, in exchange for an end to the war. Following a phone call last week, the Russian and US leaders Vladimir Putin and Donald Trump announced they would meet in Budapest for talks on resolving the war in Ukraine, triggered by Moscow's all-out offensive in February 2022. Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov and US counterpart Marco Rubio spoke on Monday 20 October to discuss preparations for the summit, and are expected to meet in person to finalise details. However, the Kremlin stated on Tuesday 21 October that there was "no precise time frame" for the summit even though Trump stated that the meeting with Putin could take place within two weeks.
