EU Funds DRYING UP! Russia's Frozen Assets Are ON THE MENU
Zelensky will meet Donald Trump on Friday 17th of October in order to discuss the strengthening of Ukraine’s air defence and Tomahawk missiles. Zelensky has talked about the number of Tomahawk missiles, but also about the funding.
The EU is also trying to speed up the issue of the frozen Russian assets as Bloomberg has reported.
According to Bloomberg, the use of frozen Russian assets is the only viable way for the EU to sustain Ukraine in this conflict.
Estimates show that Ukraine may need more than $200b in funding by the end of the decade.
Donald Trump has recalled Steve Witkoff’s first visit to Russia, stating that he was very surprised about the fact that Mr. Witkoff has spent 5 hours with Vladimir Putin.
