The allies of the European Union (EU) called its President UkrainianVolodymyr Zelensky, to overcome their differences over the use of frozen Russian assets.
Zelensky, in particular, claims that the new EU funding is critical to supporting Ukraine’s war-torn economy in its fight against Moscow.
“I hope, God willing, that we make this decision. Otherwise we will have to find an alternative solution, it is a matter of our survival. That’s why we need her so much. And I rely on partners”, Zelensky said on Bloomberg TV in an interview late Wednesday (12.11.25) in Kyiv.
The EU postponed until December the decision on the utilization of Russian state assets for the providing loans of 140 billion euros ($162 billion) to Ukrainewhich needs new funding by early next year.
Meanwhile, Russia is slowly moving onto the battlefield and attacking Ukraine’s energy infrastructure to undermine its economy as the winter months approach.
