Ukraine-Krieg: Neuer Vorstoß von vier EU‑Staaten: Russische Milliarden für die Ukraine
Die Ukraine braucht im Abwehrkampf gegen Russland mehr Geld. Nun kommt ein umstrittener Plan wieder ins Spiel: Die eingefrorenen russischen Zentralbank-Milliarden sollen Kiew finanzieren.
Brussels and Berlin, EU foreign ministers have urged the revival of a plan to utilize frozen Russian Central Bank assets to aid Ukraine in its defense against Russia. In a letter dated Thursday, addressed to EU Foreign Affairs chief Kaja Kallas and the European Commission, Swedish, Dutch, Spanish, and Polish foreign ministers request that the EU develop proposals to evenly distribute the risks associated with using this wealth.
The majority of this frozen Central Bank wealth, approximately 200 billion euros, is held in Belgium by the financial intermediary Euroclear. Belgian Foreign Minister Maxime Prévot had previously expressed concerns about the significant legal and financial risks Belgium could face if Russia or Russian entities were to successfully sue for repayment or compensation.
