## Resource

European leaders left Brussels with more questions than answers after a chaotic summit packed with high-stakes issues—from EU budget fights and Ukraine aid to Middle East tensions and Russia diplomacy. Ireland now shoulders the heavy burden of reconciling divergent views on spending, especially as agricultural funding faces potential cuts. While Ukraine gets a promised €90 billion lifeline, EU unity frays over whether to toughen or soften economic policies. Council President Costa defends talks with Moscow, even as Israel faces criticism without EU-wide sanctions. Enlargement hopes for Ukraine, Moldova, and Montenegro hang in the balance. Ireland’s October deadline looms large—can they stitch this together before it all unravels? Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
