EU Prepares for 2026: From the War in Ukraine to Artificial Intelligence

The European Union is facing a series of significant challenges as 2026 approaches, most notably the war in Ukraine, strained relations with the United States, economic survival, and rapid technological development, particularly in the field of Artificial Intelligence. The prospect of war with Russia has led to rearmament and a shift in priorities, while the EU is trying to simplify its regulations. At the same time, the EU has agreed to allocate €90 billion to finance Ukraine in 2026 and 2027. Talks to end the war are being coordinated by the US, with the possibility of direct negotiations between Europe and Russia in the future.
