EU leaders are talking about a big money plan. This plan will give Ukraine billions of euros. The money will come from Russian money. This money is frozen in Europe.
This money will help Ukraine's army. It will also help Ukraine's economy. Ukraine needs this help soon. If not, its money will run out. The EU will use loans from this money. Russia is not happy about this.
Much Russian money is with Euroclear. This company is in Belgium. Russia says the plan is bad. Russia also started a lawsuit. This makes things more serious.
Leaders also want to stop the war. A former US President thinks peace is possible. He said peace is closer now. But Russia does not agree. Russia says a European army is not okay.
US and Russian officials will meet soon. They will talk about peace. President Putin said bad things about Europe. He called Europe "total degradation." He also called Ukraine's friends "European piglets." He thinks they want to get rich.
An EU official is hopeful about the plan. Many things need to be decided. Using Russia's money is important. It will help Ukraine fight. It will also change the war.
