EU plans to freeze Russian funds | Russia-Ukraine conflict.

The European Union plans to indefinitely freeze 210 billion euros worth of Russian assets in Europe to support Ukraine, with a qualified majority vote needed for approval. This decision would eliminate the need for unanimous re-approval every six months. Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban criticized the move, while Belgium and Russia objected to the plan. Meanwhile, fighting continues in Ukraine, with Ukrainian forces making gains in Kupiansk and claiming strikes on Russian ships in the Caspian Sea.
