\n\tThe Netherlands, Poland, Spain and Sweden \u200bcalled on Thursday for the European Union to reopen discussion next week on using Russia’s frozen \u200cassets for Ukraine as Moscow shows no signs of wanting to end its war there, Reuters reports.<\/div>\n
\n\t\u00a0<\/div>\n
\n\tIn a letter seen by Reuters, foreign ministers of the four countries argue that, while the EU agreed last December on a 90 billion euro ($104.86 billion) loan for Kyiv for 2026 \u200band 2027, this will not be enough.<\/div>\n
\n\t\u00a0<\/div>\n
\n
\n\t\t«Ukraine needs more financial support in both the short and long term,» \u200bsaid the letter, addressed to EU foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas and Helen McEntee, the \u2060foreign minister of Ireland, which holds the EU’s rotating presidency.<\/div>\n
\n\t\t\u00a0<\/div>\n
\n\t\t«We believe now is the time to revert to the \u200bissue of how we can make further use of Russia\u2019s immobilised assets for the benefit of Ukraine,» the ministers wrote. \u200bThey want the issue to be discussed at the next EU foreign ministers meeting on Sept 1-2 in Ireland.<\/div>\n
\n\t\t\u00a0<\/div>\n
\n\t\tEuropean Union countries immobilised some 210 billion euros of Russian central bank assets after Moscow invaded Ukraine in February 2022. Around 185 billion euros of this is \u200bheld in Brussels-based central securities depository Euroclear.<\/div>\n
\n\t\t\u00a0<\/div>\n
\n\t\tThe European Commission proposed last year to use the Russian cash for a \u200bloan of up to 165 billion euros to Ukraine, repayable only after Russia pays war reparations to Kyiv.<\/div>\n
\n\t\t\u00a0<\/div>\n
\n\t\tBut Belgium rejected the plan, \u200csaying it \u2060did not provide sufficient guarantees that it would not be left alone to deal with potential lawsuits and demands of damages from Russia.<\/div>\n
\n\t\t\u00a0<\/div>\n
\n\t\tThe plan to use the frozen assets was therefore dropped and replaced by the 90 billion euro loan, backed by the EU budget.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
