KYIV, Ukraine, Dec 18, 2025 (BSS/AFP) - President Volodymyr Zelensky said Thursday that any failure by EU leaders to agree on a plan to use frozen Russian assets to support Ukraine would be a serious challenge for his war-torn country.

"I will speak with all the leaders, present our arguments, and I very much hope we can obtain a positive decision. Without it, there will be a big problem for Ukraine," Zelensky told reporters, ahead of a visit to Brussels for an EU summit.
