Currently, the European Union (EU) does not have enough funds to finance Ukraine, which was supposed to be carried out in the period from 2026 to 2027, because the alliance wants to provide Kiev with a loan against the frozen assets of the Russian Federation. This was announced on October 21 by European Commissioner Valdis Dombrovskis.

"In order to meet Ukraine's financial needs in 2026-2027 and beyond, we are working on additional solutions, such as a reparation loan. <...> Using [at the same time] immobilized Russian assets," RIA Novosti quoted him as saying in the European Parliament.

According to Dombrovskis, an appropriate decision would allow the EU, which wants to fully comply with its obligations under international law, to provide Kiev with a "stable and predictable" source of income.

On October 13, Bloomberg learned that European countries consider the frozen assets of the Russian Federation to be the only source of financing for Ukraine. This trend, as noted in the article, began to be observed due to the enormous economic burden on the EU.

The Politico newspaper announced on September 26 that the amount of a potential loan that the European Commission (EC) can offer Ukraine could amount to 140 billion euros.

All important news is on the Izvestia channel in the MAX messenger.
