EU Opts for Borrowing Over Frozen Assets for Ukraine Funding

Kirill Dmitriev praised the European Union for choosing to fund Ukraine by borrowing rather than using Russia's frozen assets. He criticized EU leaders opposing this, specifically naming Ursula von der Leyen, for trying to unlawfully use Russian reserves to support Ukraine, portraying it as a victory for law and rationality.

Kirill Dmitriev, special envoy for investment and economic cooperation to Russian President Vladimir Putin, expressed approval of the European Union's decision to fund Ukraine through borrowing. This move was seen as a victory for 'law and sanity,' Dmitriev noted.

EU leaders opted against using Russia's frozen assets, a decision Dmitriev lauded on social media. He criticized EU 'warmongers,' naming European Union Commission President Ursula von der Leyen, for being blocked in their 'illegal' intents to use Russian reserves for Ukraine's funding.

The decision underscores tensions within EU factions about the legality and morality of utilizing frozen assets to aid Ukraine, with Dmitriev's comments highlighting a broader geopolitical dispute.
