“ The European Union said that the issue of using frozen Russian assets to support Ukraine remains relevant, and a final decision will be made in December. Source: European Pravda correspondent citing the words of the President of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen, and the President of the European Council, Antonio Kosta, based on the results of the summit of EU leaders on October 23 in Brussels. Details: The European Union has not removed the use of rockets for transfer to Ukraine from the agenda, options are being prepared. “First of all, nobody promised anything today,” Kosta said. The President of the Eurocouncil added that the issue of the use of Russian missiles for the benefit of Ukraine was also discussed during a working dinner with the President of the European Central Bank, Christine Lagarde. “We and various (EU) leaders have raised technical issues that need to be resolved, and that is why we have invited the Commission to continue working on their resolution and return to this issue again at the European Council meeting in December to make a final decision,” he explained. Kosta emphasized that “all technical issues can be resolved – which means that this decision is feasible.” “There are aspects that require clarification, deeper analysis and further work. In other words, we have agreed on the essence – that is, it is about a loan for reparations – and now we have to work out a mechanism: how to implement it and what option will be the best for moving forward,” Von der Leyen emphasized in her turn. She stated that the issue of using the frozen assets of the Russian Federation “is certainly not trivial – it is extremely difficult.” “If you look at the conclusions, they contain a strong wording regarding our commitment to meet the needs of Ukraine, in particular its needs in the field of defense and security. Therefore, the European Council has clearly expressed its commitment in this matter,” the President of the European Commission assured. We will remind: As reported by “Evropeyska Pravda”, on October 23, the European Council approved conclusions regarding Ukraine, from which the direct mention of the use of funds from the frozen assets of the Russian Federation to support Ukraine disappeared. Belgium insisted on changing the text of the conclusions on the use of frozen assets of the Russian Federation. Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán did not sign the conclusions of the European Council on Ukraine from October 23, and the document was adopted by 26 EU states instead of 27, separately from the main text.”, — write: www.pravda.com.ua
