EU Proposes Loan for Ukraine Using Frozen Russian Assets

The European Union is considering a new plan to fund Ukraine. It would use a loan backed by profits from frozen Russian state assets. These assets, located mainly in Belgium, generate billions of dollars in interest. The EU proposal would use this income as a guarantee for a large loan to support Ukraine's war effort and reconstruction. Officials acknowledge the plan is complex and requires unanimous approval from member states. If the proposal fails, the EU currently has no clear alternative for securing the necessary funds. This leaves a critical financial gap for Ukraine with no simple solution.
