The leaders of the UK, France, and Germany agreed to use frozen Russian assets to support the Ukrainian army. They also emphasized the importance of coordination with the United States to strengthen the international position and coordinate actions. This was reported by Reuters, according to "Komersant Ukrainian"
According to the agency, this agreement was reached during a telephone conversation, during which they discussed the active promotion of the mechanism for using Russian assets blocked in European financial institutions.
According to the German government, these measures are aimed at increasing pressure on Russia and encouraging it to engage in peace negotiations.
European leaders emphasized the need for deep cooperation with the United States to ensure that international efforts are synchronized to maximize their effect. Such a joint strategy involves a detailed assessment and proper distribution of frozen assets, which, according to experts, will be an important element of continuing economic and political pressure on Russia in the context of the ongoing conflict.
In addition to the military component, the talks touched upon the humanitarian aspect. The leaders discussed the achievement of a new ceasefire agreement in Gaza, expressing their readiness to resume humanitarian assistance as soon as it enters into force.
These joint steps are seen in the context of a broader pressure strategy, which includes the use of economic sanctions and diplomatic initiatives.
According to analysts, the interaction between the EU and the US significantly enhances the ability of European countries to influence global political processes, while also contributing to supporting Ukraine in countering Russian aggression.
