Europe to launch international commission for Ukraine war damages

Ukraine and 34 other countries approved compensation body for damages from Russia's invasion. The plan would help finance the Ukraine government and its battlefield needs for the next two years. For Europe, it is a "matter of survival to show it deserves a place at the negotiating table", says FRANCE 24's Douglas Herbert. It also comes at a time where public opinion regarding financial help to Ukraine starts to cool in certain European countries.
