The President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky hopes for a decision from the EU summit in Brussels that will force Russia not to continue the war next year. The head of state reported that tomorrow the leaders of the EU will meet in Brussels, and "this is a very important meeting".
Zelensky's direct speech: "The result of these meetings – the result of Europe – must be such that Russia feels that their desire to fight even next year will make no sense, because Ukraine will have support. This depends one hundred percent on Europe – it is Europe that must make this choice".$LTC
Details: One of the key issues of the summit will be the allocation of a "reparations loan" to Ukraine from frozen Russian assets, against which Belgium continues to oppose.
The European Commission has proposed to use about 180 billion euros of frozen Russian assets held in the Belgian depository Euroclear. Of this, it is proposed to transfer 140 billion euros to Ukraine, and about 40 billion more to be used for the repayment of the ERA loan, which is provided to Ukraine by G7 countries.$LUNC
