EU Rushes to Freeze €210B Russian Assets Permanently to Stop Orban From Blocking Aid

Officials familiar with the plan told the newspaper that the rapid push to adopt the measure—using emergency powers to override national objections—aims to protect Brussels’ leverage in Ukraine peace negotiations led by the United States.
