“And now such a step could be the release of prisoners. A thousand. Indeed thousands of people held in Russia. And some of them not only since 2022, but much earlier, since 2014.

Several hundred participants take part in the summit. Among them are the leaders of 12 countries, as well as the President of the European Council, Antonio Costa, and the head of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen.
