"EU Considers Using Frozen Russian Assets to Arm Ukraine Amid Russian Threat"

European Union leaders are considering a proposal to use profits from frozen Russian assets to provide about $3 billion a year to help arm Ukraine in its fight against Russia. The plan, if approved, would offer financial support for weapons and the Ukrainian weapons industry, but it has raised concerns about potential legal and economic consequences. The move reflects Europe's struggle to balance bold pronouncements about stopping Putin with the grim realities of the war, as allies seek ways to prevent Russian President Vladimir Putin from achieving victory.
