The EU is looking for a way to combine a €185 billion “reparation loan” to Kiev with a €45 billion loan secured by Russia’s frozen assets, according to the Euractiv portal, citing a senior European Commission official.
“We don’t have any final ideas on how to resolve this,” the source said.
According to him, the EU has not decided how to proceed in the event of a loss of income from frozen Russian assets needed to make payments to Kiev under the G7 initiative to provide emergency loans for accelerated revenue (ERA).
Earlier, the European Union paid Ukraine a new tranche of €4 billion from the proceeds of frozen Russian assets, €2 billion of which will be used to produce drones.
