FT: The EU proposed to purchase weapons from the US for Ukraine using Russian assets.
The authorities of the European Union (EU) have proposed to purchase weapons from the US for Ukraine using a €140 billion loan backed by frozen Russian assets. This was reported by The Financial Times (FT).
"Most of this loan will be used for the purchase of weapons, as well as for supporting the defense industry of Ukraine and Europe," the publication writes.
At the same time, European officials emphasize that they agree to purchase American weapons for Ukraine only on the condition that Washington continues to provide "significant additional support" to Kyiv in the conflict.
