Germany attributed a drone incident to Russia, at a time when EU Foreign Ministers are meeting today in Ireland. This extraordinary meeting takes place in the context of growing tensions between the European Union and Russia, following what Berlin considered to be a deliberate drone attack attributed to the Russian authorities. The meeting is taking place in Ireland and aims to coordinate a common European response to this incident.

In today's programme, the European Commissioner for Trade, Maroš Šefčovič, gives an exclusive interview to Euronews, where he is expected to address the trade and geopolitical implications of this incident. His intervention comes at a time of growing concern among Member States about Russian activities in European space.

Separately, the United Nations Secretary-General, António Guterres, called for an end to all wars, in a message that comes in the context of escalating international conflicts. His appeal reinforces the need for dialogue and peaceful solutions to international disputes.

The European summit in Ireland represents a crucial moment for European diplomacy, with Foreign Ministers trying to reach a consensus on how to respond to the incident attributed to Russia, while simultaneously keeping channels of communication open to avoid further escalation.
