EU indefinitely freezes Russian assets so Hungary and Slovakia can’t veto their use for Ukraine
The European Union is set to lock up Russia’s assets in Europe until Russia ends its war on Ukraine and compensates for the damage.
European diplomats say both Russia and the U.S. are piling pressure on EU states to prevent a multibillion euro loan to Kyiv.
"EU is disregarding its own rules by planning to finance this package through frozen Russian assets," says the Hungarian foreign minister.

Russian police and National Guard will stay in Ukraine’s Donbas postwar, a Kremlin official says
KYIV, Ukraine (AP) — A senior Kremlin official said Friday that Russian police and National Guard will stay on in eastern Ukraine’s Donbas and oversee the industry-rich region, even if a peace settlement ends Russia’s nearly four-year war in Ukraine.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said in a social media post on Sunday morning that "hundreds of thousands" of Ukrainians were without electricity across multiple regions following Russian missile and drone attacks on the country's energy infrastructure.
Much of Ukraine’s largest Black Sea port was without power, heat and water on Saturday after strikes from Russia, which has shown little appetite for a deal to end the war.
Russia is pushing to take over all of eastern Ukraine's Donbas region, where one resident tells NPR that she feels her "life depends on how our guys at the front hold on."
Ukraine struck an oil tanker belonging to Russia’s so-called shadow fleet in the Black Sea on Wednesday, according to an official in the Security Service of Ukraine (SBU).
Moscow will give its blessing to a ceasefire only after Ukraine’s forces have withdrawn from the front line, Kremlin adviser Yuri Ushakov said in comments published Friday in Russian business daily Kommersant.
