European leaders united in condemnation of Russian President Vladimir Putin's aggressive actions in Ukraine, as they insist on supporting the country's sovereignty and independence. In a summit held to discuss funding for Ukraine, EU leaders discussed freezing Russian assets and increasing support for Ukraine in the face of the ongoing war.

Putin's derision of European leaders and insistence on Russia's war goals in Ukraine have been met with firm opposition from the EU, who have called for a combination of force and diplomacy to address the crisis. The EU's decision to freeze Russian assets reflects their commitment to standing in solidarity with Ukraine against Russian aggression.

The funding deal agreed upon at the EU leaders' summit will provide much-needed support for Ukraine, as the country continues to face challenges posed by Russian military intervention. As tensions in the region escalate, European leaders remain steadfast in their support for Ukraine and their determination to hold Russia accountable for their actions.
