The European Union will hold a summit on October 17-18, focusing primarily on migration issues. Frontex reported a 42% decrease in irregular crossings in 2024, with significant declines in the Western Balkans and Central Mediterranean routes. However, crossings via the Western African route doubled. Leaders will discuss enforcing existing sanctions on Russia and provide an additional €35 billion for Ukraine in 2025, while expressing concerns over Kremlin influence in Moldova.
