The possibility of transferring frozen russian assets to Ukraine was discussed by European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen with Belgian Prime Minister Bart De Wever and German Chancellor Friedrich Merz.
Ursula von der Leyen wrote about this on the social network X.
She emphasized that Kyiv is in dire need of financial assistance. And time plays an important role in this matter.
"We agreed that time is of the essence given the current geopolitical situation. We noted that financial support for Ukraine is of central importance for European security. We had a very constructive exchange on this matter. Belgium’s particular situation regarding the use of the frozen Russian assets is undeniable and must be addressed in such a way that all European states bear the same risk. We agreed to continue our discussions with the aim of reaching a consensus at the European Council meeting on December 18," the European Commission President said.
