President Volodymyr Zelenskyi expressed confidence that Ukraine will get access to frozen Russian assets to finance its deficit, although it is not yet known in what format the EU decision will be adopted.
He announced this at an online briefing on Monday, the correspondent of “European Truth” reports.
Volodymyr Zelenskyi, who was answering questions from aboard a plane headed for Brussels, said that the use of Russian money is one of the topics he will discuss at a meeting with the President of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen, and the President of the European Council, Antonio Kostu.
“I cannot be responsible for their (EU leaders and EU member states) decisions. But everyone understands and shares our opinion that in the end this decision must be made – so that the frozen assets of Russia, which destroyed and is destroying Ukraine – work for Ukraine,” he said.
Zelensky emphasized that Ukraine will have serious problems if there are no funds, so the option of no agreement is not considered.
“We are counting on this money. I don’t know if it will be a reparation loan or if it will be an alternative – it depends on the unity of Europe and some skeptics. But I am sure that this issue will be resolved… The leaders understand that Ukraine cannot do without this money. And the source (way of allocation – EP) of this money is a matter for Europe,” the president explained.
Volodymyr Zelenskyi emphasized that these funds should be used either for reconstruction, “or for armaments, if the war does not end.”
