EU Faces High-Stakes Decision on Ukraine Aid

EU leaders are considering a plan to use frozen Russian assets to fund Ukraine's needs. The high-risk decision may strain the EU's unity and set a dramatic precedent. With Ukraine on the brink of bankruptcy, the decision is crucial, but faces significant internal opposition and legal challenges.

Just days before a crucial EU summit, European Union leaders face the daunting task of deciding whether to utilize tens of billions in frozen Russian assets to aid Ukraine during its economic crisis.

While the European Commission confidently backs the plan, there's internal dissent, with concerns over the impact on trust in the euro and potential Russian retaliation looming large.

The stakes are enormously high, as failure to reach an agreement could set fractious precedents affecting future decisions within the EU.
