PARIS (AN) — More than a century after the 1919 Versailles treaty settled the post-World War I order, European Union leaders met for talks in the sumptuous Palace of Versailles focused on ending another European war that threatens to upend the continent.
Leaders originally called the two-day summit in Versailles, on the outskirts of Paris, for a discussion about the 27-nation bloc's economic model. Instead, Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine, launched exactly two weeks earlier, inevitably dominated their talks which ended Friday.
