European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen stressed that EU leaders will not leave the summit in Brussels without reaching an agreement on financing Ukraine through frozen Russian assets.
Speaking to reporters on Thursday (December 18, 2025), von der Leyen said: “We must find a solution today,” while voicing full support for Belgium’s demand that all EU member states share the risks linked to a reconstruction loan, which would be funded by frozen Russian assets.
EU leaders are meeting in Brussels today, Thursday, to agree on how to finance Ukraine’s economic and military needs in the coming years.
