In the morning, the President addressed a meeting of the European Council via video link. He told EU leaders that today "determination will be either in Brussels or in Moscow" and reminded them of "the solution that was promised".
European diplomats also told Western journalists that Volodymyr Zelenskyy had not been invited to the EU summit in Brussels because of the likely reaction of Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban.
