EU rallies in support of Ukraine amid Trump standoff

What happened: EU leaders at a Brussels summit urged continued arming of Ukraine and sanctions on Russia, hosting President Volodymyr Zelenskyy amid a deepening rift between Washington and Kyiv. Key numbers: Zelenskyy asked for 70bn euros ($79 billion) more next year, saying the war will cost 155 billion euros ($174bn). Russian strikes killed three people in Kharkiv. Why it matters: Zelenskyy called EU leaders "real leaders," a dig at Trump, who called Zelenskyy's abandonment of an energy deal "a disgrace." Estonia's PM said the EU will likely need a new loan for Ukraine.
