The European Union is considering frozen Russian assets as one of the sources for financing Ukraine in the future.
This was stated by European Commissioner for Economy and Productivity Valdis Dombrovskis, speaking to journalists ahead of the EU Economic and Financial Affairs Council meeting in Brussels.
According to the Commissioner, EU economy and finance ministers are exploring various options for mechanisms to further support Ukraine, including funds obtained from frozen Russian assets, following the model of loan programmes under the G7 framework.
Some proposals from the Ukrainian side are also being considered, but their examination is still in the early stages, Dombrovskis noted.
"It is important to emphasize that we increasingly need to consider concessional financing, as Ukraine is already reaching certain sustainability limits. Therefore, it is crucial that any lending we intend to provide in 2026 be on concessional terms. Very soon, we will need to become more specific and decide on which options to focus after these discussions, taking into account feedback from EU member states," the Commissioner said.
