The Ukrainian President said, “we will discuss the topic of Russian assets. These assets should be directed towards protecting life in Ukraine from Russian aggression.”
According to President Zelenskyy: “We are preparing for important negotiations with our European partners — with the President of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen @vonderleyen. As we approach the winter season—and especially during this critical autumn—we have many pressing issues that significantly impact Ukraine and the lives of our people.
Energy is an urgent priority. The front remains a constant priority, which includes supplying and jointly producing weapons. Political cooperation is also crucial—we have already begun negotiations on Ukraine’s EU membership, and this process must be active, truly strengthening the entire European system. There can be no doubts about the strength of the European project.
Additionally, we will discuss the topic of Russian assets. These assets should be directed towards protecting life in Ukraine from Russian aggression. There is already a clear decision to allocate 50 billion euros for Ukraine from these assets, and a mechanism for its implementation is needed to ensure that this support is felt in the near future.”
