European Union countries may transfer frozen Russian assets to Ukraine as a reparations loan.
This was reported by Politico, according to "Komersant Ukrainian".
“This proposal, which one official dubbed ‘legal ingenuity,’ would help create a significant additional funding stream for Kyiv, while technically there would be no expropriation of Russian assets, but from a legal point of view, the move is very risky,” the article says.
The journalists noted that the initiative is to replace the money transferred to Ukraine with EU-backed promissory notes. According to the authors, this idea could help Brussels solve “one of the most difficult issues” since the beginning of the war.
on September 3, Russian dictator Vladimir Putin said that the possible transfer of frozen Russian assets to Ukraine would cause enormous damage to the entire international economy. According to him, such a decision would also destroy the foundations of financial activity.
