EU Deal on Ukraine Funding ‘Increasingly Difficult,’ Kallas Says

The European Union’s effort to tap Russian assets as the main source of international funding for Ukraine is becoming “increasingly difficult” as leaders struggle to agree on a framework, the bloc’s top foreign policy official said.

Kaja Kallas, the EU’s most senior diplomat, said accessing the frozen assets remains the “most credible” option. Speaking at a gathering of EU foreign ministers in Brussels ahead of a leaders summit on Thursday and Friday, she urged member states to move on the plan.
