EU Leaders Face the Cost of Their Ukraine Failure

Description:

EU leaders met in Paris, where French President Emmanuel Macron met with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky to discuss the war. Macron emphasized that only Ukraine can decide on its territories, not Russia or anyone else. The EU leaders expressed reluctance to provide Belgium with a "blank check" guarantee for frozen Russian assets held in Euroclear, criticizing Belgian PM Bart de Wever for excessive demands. This leaves the EU with the option of borrowing to fund Ukraine for the next two years, a move unpopular because it would use taxpayer money. The leaders also fear a potential deal between Russia and the US that would leave Europe in an uncomfortable position. 0:00 Intro 1:14 "Everybody" is responsible 3:13 No accountability 7:39 No mistakes were made ... allegedly 9:06 An ugly deal
