European defense ministers met in Copenhagen to discuss the escalating war in Ukraine following a Russian air attack on Kyiv that killed 23 and damaged an EU compound. The attack fueled outrage, leading to calls for stronger measures against Russia, including seizing frozen assets and increasing military support for Ukraine. Discussions included boosting sanctions, supplying more arms to Ukraine, and planning for post-war security guarantees. The US approved an $825 million arms sale to Ukraine. While peace efforts appear stalled, European officials emphasized the need for increased pressure on Russia to end the conflict.
