Kallas insists Russian assets are an option if Orbán doesn't lift veto on Ukraine loan 😔

Cikk tartalma röviden

EU High Representative Kaja Kallas stated that using Russia's frozen assets to finance Ukraine is still an option if Viktor Orbán maintains his veto on a €90 billion loan after the April elections. Orbán's veto is linked to a dispute over the Druzhba oil pipeline. Kallas emphasized the need for financing to support Ukraine against Russian aggression, while Ukrainian officials echoed the sentiment regarding the frozen assets. The European Commission proposed using Russian Central Bank assets for Ukraine's needs, but some countries, including Belgium, raised concerns. The political debate has been ongoing, and Orbán's veto has angered other EU member states, complicating the situation further.
