AI: What changed Written by AI from the official text — check the source

The report updates positions on Ukraine, adding support for a EUR 90 billion loan package and a multinational force, while adjusting language on using frozen Russian assets. On the Middle East, it adds support for UN Resolution 2803, criticises Israel's recognition of Somaliland, and softens language on Israel's self-defence. It adds new paragraphs on Venezuela, Greenland, and the US National Security Strategy, criticising US actions and reaffirming support for democratic transitions. Other changes include new paragraphs on Belarus, Syria, Myanmar, and Africa, and updates on Iran, China, and the Western Balkans. The remaining changes are formal, such as renumbering and minor wording adjustments.
