The head of the European Commission Ursula von der Leyen will announce during her visit to the capital of the former Soviet republic that the European Union intends to grant Ukraine a loan of 35 billion euros as part of the G7 plan to provide Kiev with 50 billion dollars, the Financial Times reports, citing sources.
Earlier, the Financial Times wrote that the European Union is preparing to attract new loans for Kiev for up to 40 billion euros without the participation of the United States, wanting to bypass Hungary’s veto on the extension of the freeze on Russia’s assets.
‘European Commission head Ursula von der Leyen travelled to Kiev on Friday to announce an EU loan of 35 billion euros to Ukraine as part of a G7 plan to raise $50 billion from the proceeds of frozen Russian state assets,’ the publication said.
The material points out that the amount of 35 billion euros represents a compromise, allowing Washington to enter into the deal later.
Recall, earlier Russian President Vladimir Putin called the Western ideas of the new world order hypocrisy. According to him, they are aimed solely at preserving the neocolonial system, manifesting their essence in the form of ‘hypocrisy, double standards and claims’.
