When will the EU-UK summit take place?

Depends on what you mean success. Tone is very important in all sorts of areas, not least Ukraine and defence cooperation more broadly. It was noticeable how much more constructive the relationship was once Johnson left, and further under Sunak and Cleverly. These things matter
