Zelenskyy: Strongest support for Ukrainian army is to provide 250 billion of Russia’s frozen assets
The strongest support for the Ukrainian army would be to receive $250 billion in frozen Russian assets.
This was stated by the President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy, Censor.NET reports citing Interfax-Ukraine.
The President noted that as part of the implementation of the G7 decision, Ukraine was allocated $50 billion in proceeds from frozen Russian assets, of which $20 billion is provided by the United States, $18 billion by the European Union and other partners. However, support for Ukraine is spread over time, so pragmatic decisions need to be made.
"The safest guarantees, the cheapest guarantees of security for Ukraine are provided by NATO. And the strongest support for the Ukrainian army is to allocate 250 billion. Ukraine will take this money and allocate a large amount for domestic production and imports of the types of weapons that Ukraine does not have," Zelenskyy said at a joint press conference with Polish President Andrzej Duda in Warsaw.
