Amid escalating geopolitical tensions, Ukraine has agreed to a U.

S.-proposed 30-day ceasefire with Russia, sparking renewed debates in Europe over frozen Russian assets.

European lawmakers are divided on whether to seize these assets, valued at over €200 billion, to support Ukraine's resistance and reconstruction.

While some argue this move could destabilize financial systems, others see it as a moral imperative.

France, meanwhile, has pledged €195 million from the interest on frozen assets to bolster Ukraine's military, including ammunition and advanced weaponry.

This comes as the U.

S. halts military aid to Ukraine, leaving Europe to reassess its role in the conflict.

The debate also touches on Ukraine's potential EU membership and the future of Russian gas imports, highlighting the complex web of political and economic stakes.
