The European Union (EU) countries have not reached a consensus on granting Ukraine a loan based on Russia's blocked assets. This was announced on October 1 by the head of EU diplomacy, Kaya Kallas, before an informal summit of EU heads of state in Copenhagen.
"We are working on a reparation loan to act as quickly as possible, but, of course, not all EU member states are ready. Not everyone supports him yet, so there's still a lot of work to do," Kallas said.
The head of EU diplomacy did not specify the exact timing of the loan to Kiev.
On September 30, the head of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen, promised that the EU would not seize Russia's frozen assets. According to her, the European Union has agreed with Ukraine to allocate €2 billion for the purchase of drones, which will allow Kiev to expand its capabilities and effectively use new technologies.
