The European Union is reportedly considering using profits from Russia’s frozen assets to finance a new $10 billion military aid package for Ukraine proposed by US President Donald Trump.<\/p>\n

According to a report<\/a><\/span> by\u00a0The Telegraph<\/em>, under the plan being discussed, proceeds from the approximately \u20ac200 billion of Russian Central Bank assets blocked in the EU could be directed as a contribution from European countries to the new defense fund.<\/p>\n

Plan to operate through NATO<\/strong><\/p>\n

This move became the subject of initial talks among EU countries following Trump’s announcement of a new initiative to supply Ukraine with weapons and air defense systems through NATO.<\/p>\n

According to diplomatic sources, EU foreign ministers discussed the plan in Brussels on Tuesday, although the US has not yet presented its full details to all member states.<\/p>\n

NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte announced that the agreement involves the alliance purchasing American air defense systems, missiles, and ammunition and then transferring them to Ukraine.<\/p>\n

Rutte reported during his meeting with the US President in the Oval Office that at least eight member states have already confirmed their participation in the initiative.<\/p>\n

Poland proposes that Russia should pay the bill<\/strong><\/p>\n

The most likely scenario involves the creation of a central fund under NATO administration, to which European allies and Canada would contribute.<\/p>\n

These funds are planned to be used for purchasing weapons according to a “priority list” prepared by the Ukrainian government.<\/p>\n

Polish Foreign Minister Rados\u0142aw Sikorski proposed to his EU counterparts that profits from Russia’s frozen assets be used directly to finance this plan.<\/p>\n

According to a source familiar with the talks, Sikorski asked, “Who should bear this burden, our taxpayers or the Russians?”<\/p>\n

The aim is to keep Trump engaged in supporting Ukraine<\/strong><\/p>\n

Previously in Brussels, the possibility of creating its own defense fund for arms purchases with proceeds from frozen assets was being discussed.<\/p>\n

However, joining an initiative under the auspices of the US and NATO is now seen as a more effective way to maintain Trump’s engagement in supporting Ukraine.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
