The USA military aircraft struck the targets of the militants of the terrorist group "Islamic State" (ISIS) in Syria. The operation was aimed at preventing extremist attacks in the region and beyond.

Points of attention

  • The US has struck ISIS camps in Syria to protect the region from terrorist attacks.
  • The US operation in Syria has significantly deprived ISIS fighters of the ability to plan and execute attacks.
  • The strikes were aimed at protecting civilians and US partners in the region.
  • The US military responded promptly to alarming threats and minimized the risks to the civilian population.
  • Working together with local and allied forces is an important step in countering terrorism in the region.

The USA struck ISIS camps in Syria

According to the Central Command of the US Armed Forces (CENTCOM) and ABC News, the airstrikes were carried out on Friday, October 11.

CENTCOM did not specify in which areas of Syria the ISIS camps targeted by the strikes were located.

The US military said the operation had significantly weakened the militants' ability to "plan, coordinate and launch attacks" against the US, its allies and partners, as well as against civilians both in the region and beyond.

The command also noted that the assessment of the strikes is still ongoing, and confirmed the absence of civilian casualties.

What preceded it

As noted by ABC News, about 900 American military personnel are deployed in eastern Syria along with the US-backed and Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces, which play an important role in the fight against ISIS militants.

Last month, the Iraqi military said Iraqi forces and US troops had killed a high-ranking ISIS commander wanted by the United States, along with several other known militants.

US Central Command launched an airstrike in Syria on June 16, killing Osama Jamal Muhammad Ibrahim al-Janabi, a senior ISIS official and facilitator.

European Commissioner for Enlargement Marta Cos announced that the European Union will allocate 9 billion euros to Ukraine for defense capabilities by the end of 2025. She said this on April 9 during a press conference of representatives of the European Commission and Ukrainian Prime Minister Denys Shmyhal.

Points of attention

  • The European Union has committed to providing Ukraine with 9 billion euros for defense capabilities by the end of 2025, showcasing a long-term strategic investment in European security.
  • Ukraine's successful implementation of reforms and resilience in challenging circumstances has solidified its position as the EU's largest supporter, culminating in increased trade and progress towards EU membership.

Ukraine will receive 9 billion euros from the EU

According to Marta Kos, the European Commission has already allocated 144 billion euros for Ukraine since the start of Russia's full-scale invasion on February 24, 2022. Of this, the Commission has distributed 20 billion. Another 9 billion euros will be provided by the end of 2025.

Supporting Ukraine is not just a duty, it is a long-term strategic investment in Europe's security. As a continent, we are Ukraine's biggest and most consistent supporter. Ukraine is pushing through important reforms. Ukraine's trade with the EU has grown for the fourth year in a row. A remarkable achievement that demonstrates Ukraine's resilience in times of adversity.

Marta Kos also reported that by the end of 2025, the EU may open all clusters of negotiations on Ukraine's membership in the bloc.

This is a national transformation, and the EU is proud to be on this path with Ukraine.

Prime Minister Denys Shmyhal, following the results of the 10th meeting of the Ukraine-EU Association Council, stated that Ukraine has fulfilled 81% of its obligations under the Association Agreement with the European Union.

Meanwhile, Hungary is blocking the opening of clusters on negotiations on Ukraine's accession to the EU from the beginning of 2025. The country's government stated that "Ukraine's membership in the EU will be a burden for both the bloc and Hungary."

The European Commission stated that the enlargement of the European Union is a priority for the bloc.
