EU leaders met in Brussels on 20-21 October 2022 to discuss Ukraine, energy, economic issues and external relations.

On 20 October, European leaders reached an agreement to incresase efforts,&nbsp;in light of the ongoing crisis,&nbsp;to reduce demand, to ensure security of supply, to avoid rationing, and to lower energy prices for households and businesses across the Union and preserve&nbsp;the&nbsp;integrity of the Single Market.

The European Council condemned&nbsp;in the strongest possible terms the&nbsp;indiscriminate Russian missile and drone attacks targeting civilians and civilian objects and infrastructure in Kyiv and across Ukraine. It likewise condemned&nbsp;Russia’s actions at Ukraine’s Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant and underlined&nbsp;the European Union’s support to the International Atomic Energy Agency’s efforts to maintain the safety, security and safeguards of the facility.

On 9 November, during a plenary debate&nbsp; on the outcome of the October summit, MEPs urge to speed up the reform on the&nbsp;electricity market&nbsp;to decouple electricity prices from those of gas.&nbsp;They also called for further measures to protect citizens and businesses who are struggling to pay rising energy bills, as well as a windfall tax on the profits of energy companies.
