Providing Ukraine with a loan using frozen Russian assets was the agreed position of all EU leaders at the end of 2025. The alternative to this step is now up to the European Union.
We will be grateful if they can unblock this format. If they do not, we hope for an alternative that would allow us to access these funds. Otherwise, the Ukrainian army will be underfunded. Drone production – of long-range drones and interceptors – will also be underfunded, as will air defense systems, because we allocate part of those funds to European air defense systems and to the U.S. PAC-3 missiles.
This is a risk for everyone. It is a risk to European security. I believe there will be no collapse, and the Europeans will resolve this issue.
