German Chancellor Olaf Scholz will make a government statement in Berlin on Wednesday about the EU leaders’ summit that will take place in Brussels on Thursday and Friday.

The statement is expected to address migration, Russia’s war against Ukraine, conflicts in the Middle East and the EU’s competitiveness.

The statement is expected to last half an hour. A 90-minute session in the German parliament, the Bundestag, is scheduled for the subsequent debate.

After the debate, Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock and Health Minister Karl Lauterbach plan to answer questions from MPs.
