EU member countries are discussing the possibility of providing Ukraine with interest from frozen Russian assets.
Ukraine may benefit from Russian assets frozen in Europe this year, but all 300 billion dollars are not yet discussed.
EU Ambassador to Ukraine Katarina Maternova reported this in exclusive interview for the TV channel “1+1”.
“I really hope that this year we will be able to provide Ukraine with the interest earned. That is, not the amount itself, but the fact that this money is earned. This is about 3 billion, this is the estimate now. Proposals are already being received in this regard and the EU member states are discussing it,” said the ambassador.
She added that certain steps have already been taken in this direction.
According to Katarina Maternova, Ukraine will be able to receive this earned interest by the end of 2024.
Recall that the head of the National Bank of Ukraine Andrei Pyshny said whether the frozen assets of the Russian Federation will be enough to compensate for the damage caused by the war
