European leaders rally around Ukraine

Newsday

Available for 28 days

European leaders will be meeting in the next few hours here in London to shore-up financial and other forms of support for Ukraine - and ramp up pressure on Russia to end the war.The so called Coalition of the Willing is a grouping of 33 countries that was launched earlier this year by the UK and France to ensure post-war security guarantees for Ukraine. It all comes after EU leaders pushed back a decision on using frozen Russian assets as a so-called Reparations Loan for Ukraine until December. We look at what difference a reparations deal could have on the war in Ukraine. As the next steps in putting together a postwar Gaza continue, the United States has made one thing clear -- any Israeli attempt to annex parts of he occupied Wes Bank will not be tolerated. And we have a report looking at the spike in the number of fishermen being killed at sea in South Korea.
