BRUSSELS (AP) — Western allies have already clinched the most important part of what all will be looking for in three summits on Thursday held in Europe’s diplomatic capital. U.S. President Biden will exemplify the sense of unity in the face of Russia’s war in Ukraine when the leaders of NATO, the European Union and the Group of Seven meet in Brussels. Biden will also use his time there to announce new sanctions against Russia while underscoring the importance of closing possible loopholes in the avalanche of Western measures that have already been enacted.
