The Border That Vanished Overnight: Spain-Gibraltar Border Fades as EU Leaders Head to Kyiv
EU leaders, including Commission President Ursula von der Leyen, make a surprise trip to Kyiv to announce new defense initiatives, while the border between Spain and Gibraltar effectively disappears, and Sciences Po weighs a campus in Brussels.
European allies are stepping up their support for Ukraine as Kyiv intensifies its war effort against Russia. As part of this push, European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen and a group of EU leaders have made a surprise trip to Kyiv to unveil a series of new defense initiatives. These packages are expected to be announced later today.
Meanwhile, as of today, one of Brexit's lingering loose ends has been tied up. The border between Spain and the British territory of Gibraltar has effectively vanished, allowing pedestrians to walk from Spain into Gibraltar without noticing a crossing. This marks a significant step in post-Brexit relations.
In other news, Brussels may soon become more than just a political hub. Paris-based Sciences Po, a prestigious French university specializing in political science, is considering opening a campus in Brussels. The aim would be to train the next generation of eurocrats, reinforcing the city's role as an academic center.
