"European Union's Response to Russian Threats and Aid for Ukraine"

EU leaders have agreed to use profits from frozen Russian assets to support Ukraine, unlocking around three billion euros annually for Kyiv. While some commentators view this as a positive step, others criticize the EU for being too slow in its actions. There are concerns about the potential repercussions of seizing Russian assets, with some urging Europe to fully commit to aiding Ukraine's defense. Additionally, there are discussions about the shift in the EU's approach from a focus on climate and social issues to potential military readiness in response to the conflict. However, skepticism remains about whether the West will change its stance and engage in a military conflict with Russia.
