Squeezed by Trump and taxpayers, E.U. leaders are weighing a plan to tap into some $200 billion in frozen Russian assets to give Ukraine cash.

EU countries on Thursday formally adopted a 19th package of sanctions against Russia for its war against Ukraine that includes a ban on Russian liquefied natural gas imports.

European Union leaders are seeking a more active role in Gaza and the occupied West Bank after being sidelined from a U.S.-brokered ceasefire between Israel and Hamas.

Belgian Prime Minister Bart De Wever insisted on Thursday that his European partners must share the risk of using billions of dollars in frozen Russian assets that are held in his country to help keep Ukraine’s economy and war effort afloat in coming years.

European democracy and rule of law are at risk, the general says, so Europe must give Ukraine whatever it can to pressure Moscow, even if Trump does not.

Waves of missiles and drones throughout the night targeted at least eight Ukrainian cities, as well as a village in the Kyiv region.
