BRUSSELS, Belgium, Dec 15, 2025 (BSS/AFP) - The EU must take "very important" decisions on funding Ukraine at a crunch summit this week, but talks over using frozen Russian assets are getting harder, the bloc's top diplomat said Monday.

"We are not there yet, and it is increasingly difficult, but we're doing the work and we still have some days," EU foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas told journalists. "We will not leave the meeting before we get a result," she added.
