Members of the European Parliament discuss the outcome of the March 6 special European Council meeting, as well as European security and support for Ukraine, during the plenary session in Strasbourg on Tuesday, March 11.

The debate will also look ahead to the March 20‑21 European Council meeting.

European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen and President of the European Council Antonio Costa are expected to participate in the discussions.

Last week's meeting saw leaders debate an 800-billion-euro funding boost for defence spending, with von der Leyen describing it as an 'era of rearmament' and a 'watershed moment'.

However, Hungary vetoed the final statement on increased Ukraine aid following the latest US pause, with Viktor Orban saying it would 'ruin Europe'.
