EU in Crisis: Belgium Blocks $210B Ukraine Fund at Key Summit

WooGlobe

The European Union is facing one of its toughest tests yet — deciding whether to use €210 billion in frozen Russian assets to support Ukraine. As the war nears its fourth year, Kyiv urgently needs funds to survive. But Belgium is blocking the plan, fearing legal retaliation from Moscow. With pressure mounting from other EU leaders — and even the U.S. — this summit could shape the future of Europe, Ukraine, and the war itself. Will unity prevail, or will politics get in the way?

00:00Europe is on edge right now, and Ukraine's future may be decided behind closed doors in Brussels this week.

00:06EU leaders are meeting for a do-or-die summit to unlock billions in frozen Russian assets for Ukraine.

00:11The goal? Stop Ukraine's economy from collapsing as the war drags into its fourth year.

00:16The EU wants to use over 200 billion euros in frozen Russian funds to help Kiev stay afloat.

00:22But there's a massive problem. Belgium is saying no.

00:25Why? Because most of those funds are held in Brussels, and Belgium fears Russia's legal backlash.

00:32Moscow's already suing the company that holds the cash, Euroclear.

00:36Belgium's Prime Minister Bart de Weber is now in the spotlight, standing firm while 26 other EU countries try to sway him.

00:43If no deal is made soon, Ukraine could run out of money by April, and Europe's credibility would take a hit.

00:49Time is running out, and as U.S. pressure grows to end the war fast, EU leaders know, this summit could change everything.

00:58The question now is, will Europe stand united, or crack under pressure?
