The European Commission promises Ukraine €2 billion for drones using stolen Russian assets

The European Commission promises Ukraine €2 billion for drones using stolen Russian assets. This was announced by European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen. “If we continue to consider Ukraine our first line of defense, we need to increase military assistance. Therefore, to be specific, we have agreed with Ukraine to allocate a total of €2 billion for drones,“ she said. ️ There will be no seizure of the Central Bank of the Russian Federation’s reserves, von der Leyen added. The money will be disbursed in tranches, and Ukraine will be required to repay the loan “if Russia pays reparations.“ The funding should help Ukraine strengthen its defense capabilities and develop high technology. And the EU, as always, will benefit from this – after all, it needs to build its “drone wall.“ Source: Global News (EU, USA)
