Armenia hosts EPC as Europe weighs energy security and new alliances

Armenia hosted the EPC’s eighth meeting, mixing diplomacy with substantive talks on Europe’s energy security, Ukraine support and potential EU ties. The gathering highlighted Merz’s absence and Mark Carney’s first EPC appearance, Zelenskyy’s push for faster military aid and EU membership talks, and a broader push to de-risk energy dependencies, along with a tentative UK–EU reset on Ukraine funding and the SAFE defence programme, punctuated by a brief clash over Azerbaijan’s criticism of the European Parliament.

UK edges toward EU ties in volatile times, weighing costs

Amid Ukraine, energy and economic pressures, the UK says it will pursue a pragmatic push to deepen ties with the EU in security and economics, including a food-safety agreement, carbon trading linkage, a youth exchange via Erasmus+, and rejoining Erasmus+. Government ministers insist no re-entry into the single market or customs union, with legislation to align some standards while keeping Brexit red lines. Critics warn of becoming a rule-taker and question costs, as Erasmus+ is projected at about £570m in the first year and Horizon funding at roughly £2.2bn annually, among other concessions that could complicate future independence from EU rules.

Brexit at a Crossroads: Britain’s Pivot Between Washington and Europe

Six years after Brexit, Britain faces a strategic choice between deepening ties with the United States for security and economic benefits or rebuilding closer links with the European Union to share defense needs and preserve access to the single market; while some, like Lord David Frost, urge a stronger U.S. alliance, others warn that detaching from Europe could weaken defense and trade, and UK leadership signals a broader EU reset at the sectoral level to bolster ties with Europe and its defense role.
