Since the beginning of 2025, the European Union has transferred 10.1 billion euros to Ukraine from income from the funds of Russia frozen in European banks.
About it reports Welt Am Sonntag.
According to the newspaper, in March, May, June and July the Ukrainian government received 1 billion euros due to profits from frozen assets, in January – € 3 billion, in April – 3.1 billion euros.
It is reported that Brussels uses these funds to support military and civilian projects of Kiev.
According to the newspaper, some European politicians want Ukraine to be available to Ukraine, not just interest income. However, economists warn of the devastating effects of such a step for the financial system.
The EU, G7 countries and Australia, after the start of a full -scale invasion of the Russian Federation into Ukraine, frozen about $ 280 billion of state assets of the Russian Federation. In May 2024, the EU approved the use of income from frozen assets to assist Ukraine. Last year, Kyiv received 3 billion euros.
At the same time, Ukraine has been insisting on the confiscation of Russian assets for a long time as compensation for damage caused by a full -scale invasion. At the same time, the European Union, not everyone supports this decision. Back in March Deutsche Welle reported that the EU would not confiscate frozen assets of the Russian Federation due to resistance to several countries.
Ukraine has long demanded the confiscation of Russian assets as compensation for the losses caused by the invasion, considering the frozen assets of the Russian Central Bank. However, in the EU, which has frozen most of the amount, there are opponents of such a decision.
In Europe, Belgium, France, Germany and Italy .
