European Commission head Ursula von der Leyen has called for a discussion on using profits from Russian assets to benefit the Ukrainian Armed Forces.
“It is time to start a conversation about using the excess profits from frozen Russian assets for the joint purchase of military equipment for Ukraine,” RIA Novosti quoted her as saying.
Earlier, Russian Finance Minister Anton Siluanov said that the Russian side would respond symmetrically to the US attempts to transfer frozen Russian assets to Ukraine.
