Europe should transfer 300 billion of frozen Russian assets to us, it’s Ukrainian money - Zelenskyy
Europe needs to make strong decisions and transfer 300 billion of frozen Russian assets to Ukraine.
This was stated by President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy at a press conference following his participation in the summit of the European Political Community in Budapest, Censor.NET reports citing NV.
Zelenskyy emphasized that one cannot rely only on the United States to help Ukraine.
"Everyone says, what will you do if Trump does not support you financially? Where will you get weapons? How will you defend yourself? I am answering you. Is it possible for us to take the 300 billion due to us... Is it possible for us to decide for ourselves what kind of weapons we need? Can we decide for ourselves what to do with this money? Can none of the European countries block this money?" Zelenskyy said.
The President also reminded that the Kremlin does not value people, only money. Therefore, it will be a lesson for Russia when Russian assets work for Ukraine.
"Russian assets. I want to thank every leader who defends the right of Ukraine to use funds from Russian assets to protect itself from Russian aggression. The Russian state values neither people nor morals - it values only money. And so it will also be a lesson for them when Russian assets operate in Ukraine. To be honest, this is Ukrainian money," Zelenskyy said.
