President of the European Commission Ursula von der Leyen has welcomed the decision by EU member states to indefinitely freeze Russia\u2019s sovereign assets within the EU. She announced this on X,\u00a0UATV English<\/a>\u00a0reports.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

\u201cI welcome the Council\u2019s decision on our proposal to extend the freezing of Russian sovereign assets. We are sending Russia a clear signal that as long as this brutal war of aggression continues, Russia\u2019s costs will continue to rise,\u201d von der Leyen stated.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

She added that the decision also carries a powerful message for Ukraine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

\u201cWe want to ensure that our brave neighbour becomes even stronger on the battlefield and at the negotiating table,\u201d the Commission President said.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

For his part, European Council President Ant\u00f3nio Costa stressed that EU leaders have fulfilled their commitment regarding Russian assets and that the next step will be securing Ukraine\u2019s financial needs for 2026\u20132027.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

\u201cAt the October European Council, EU leaders committed to keeping Russian assets blocked until Russia ends its aggressive war against Ukraine and compensates for the damage caused. Today, we delivered on that commitment. Next step: securing Ukraine\u2019s financial needs for 2026\u20132027,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

As reported earlier, EU ambassadors have agreed to freeze Russia\u2019s sovereign assets indefinitely, removing the main obstacle to providing Ukraine with a \u201creparations loan\u201d of \u20ac210 billion.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
