Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk has sounded a clear warning that Russia is closely watching the latest round of peace-focused talks, even as Europe, the United States, and Ukraine attempt to project rare strategic unity. In a candid admission, EU leadership confirmed that frozen Russian-linked assets and European funds are being redirected to strengthen Ukraine’s position, a move aimed at tightening pressure on the Kremlin while reinforcing internal EU solidarity. The decision has reignited debate over how far Europe is willing to go financially and militarily to sustain Kyiv in a protracted conflict. WATCH
