The European Union is currently facing financial difficulties. This was reported by Zamin.uz.
Officials have stated that at least 60 billion euros are needed to support Kyiv. They emphasized that additional financial resources are required to continue providing comprehensive assistance to Ukraine.
For this reason, Brussels is also considering the possibility of using Russia's frozen state assets. Currently, there is no consensus among European Union members on how to utilize these funds.
Some countries advocate for the full confiscation of frozen assets, while others believe it is preferable to direct only the income generated from these assets to Ukraine. This issue is causing political and financial debates.
According to The Guardian, the European Union is preparing a new package of 19 sanctions against Russia. Additionally, according to Politico, the European Commission is working on creating a special mechanism to transfer approximately 200 billion euros worth of Russian assets to Ukraine.
This step aims to provide financial aid quickly and effectively. According to the European Union's High Representative for Foreign Affairs, Kaja Kallas, Russian assets will not be returned until the war ends and the Kremlin fully compensates for the damages caused.
She emphasized that the European Union is strictly monitoring this issue and aims to direct financial resources to Ukraine efficiently and transparently. Under the current circumstances, strengthening financial cooperation between the European Union and Ukraine, rational use of assets, and effective implementation of sanctions are considered the most important tasks.
Through this, Ukraine can be supported militarily and economically and achieve stability.
