Patru state UE cer folosirea activelor înghețate ale Rusiei pentru a finanța Ucraina

Sweden, the Netherlands, Spain, and Poland have urged the European Commission to resume plans for using frozen Russian assets to address Ukraine's budget deficit. Ukrainian President Zelensky highlighted a current budget shortfall of €23.5 billion, exacerbated by military expenditures. The four countries argue that the financial burden of the war should not fall on European citizens but rather on the aggressor's assets. They propose a legal mechanism to utilize these assets directly, rather than just the interest generated. However, Belgium's veto poses a significant obstacle due to concerns over potential legal repercussions from Russia.
