EU leaders meet for unprecedented showdown over Ukraine funds

EU leaders will meet in Brussels today to try to agree on the release of €210bn to help fund Ukraine’s war with Russia.

Many leaders within the bloc will push to use tens of billions of euros of frozen Russian assets to help raise a loan for Ukraine for the next two years.

But some members have voiced opposition to doing so in the past.

Speaking ahead of the meeting Volodymyr Zelenskyy has directed a message towards Ukraine’s allies.

Zelenskyy urged Ukraine’s partners to secure support to show Russia that continuing the war is "pointless".

"The outcome of these meetings – the outcome for Europe – must be such that Russia feels that its desire to continue fighting next year will be pointless, because Ukraine will have support," he said in his evening address.
