These aren't just words. He is really hoping that what happens today is that some of these pledges manifest to hard commitments and things that make a difference on the battlefield. Of course, this is an emergency summit, so whether or not we get some big agreement at the end of it, I think, is unlikely.

But it is symbolic, and we saw the hands on the shoulder there, the fact that they were standing shoulder to shoulder, President Zelensky and the people who really are figureheads. In Europe, that sends a message. It sends a message to Vladimir Putin. And of course, in these extraordinary times, it sends a message to President Trump in the White House, too.

Another thing to bear in mind is that the decisions that are taken here in this format at this summit, they're always unanimous. So all 27 leaders have to agree. And the problem comes in the form of Victor Orban. He's the Hungarian leader. He's close to Putin. He's more sympathetic to Moscow than probably any other member of the European Union.

He's said that he can't put his name to any sort of words on Ukraine, which may or may not say we'll be with Ukraine for as long as it takes, because Mr Orban's argument is that the facts have changed. You've got the White House talking to the Kremlin directly, President Trump... wanting to talk more with President Putin. And so Mr. Orban is saying, well, look, Europe should follow suit.

It should be picking up the phone, talking to President Putin, trying to bring about peace. So I think that could be one stumbling block. But it's worth pointing out that in the past, they have actually got round this when they've made decisions when Mr. Orban has left the room. So there has been some quite careful choreography that's worked out and they've been able to make a decision.

Getting more aid into Gaza was a key component of the ceasefire between Israel and Hamas. But on Sunday Israel said it was stopping aid crossings, calling on Hamas to agree to extend the first phase of the ceasefire. Aid agencies are now warning the blocking of relief is having a significant impact.

The World Food Programme told the BBC it had enough stock to provide assistance to Gazans for less than two weeks. It warned if crossings into Gaza remain closed, it may have to further reduce rations. Christian Aid, which operates in the Strip, said market prices had increased by as much as a quarter, with some goods like meat, fish and imported vegetables starting to disappear altogether.

Christian Aid also said the lack of relief risked what they called an even greater humanitarian catastrophe if aid deliveries don't resume soon.

A sea of Romanian flags in central Bucharest. Last Saturday, tens of thousands of Romanians marched through their capital in support of Kalin Georgescu, a 62-year-old agricultural engineer who says he wants to put Romania first. I asked Dragos, a Romanian living in Canada, what he's protesting against.

Viele in der Gruppe verurteilen die Krieg in der Ukraine nicht an Russland, sondern an dem, was sie als globale Elite sehen. Sie verurteilen das aktuelle rumänische Regierung, dass sie ein Puppet dieser Elite ist, während ihre Kritiker ihren Helden, Kalin Georgescu, als ein Puppet der Russen verurteilen.
