Four EU countries want to resume debate on Russia's frozen assets

Jornal de Negócios30 August 2026 at 10:00

Four European Union countries want to resume the debate on the use of frozen Russian assets. This issue has been discussed within the EU, but so far no definitive solution has been found regarding the fate of these funds.

Ukraine already faces a deficit of 23 billion euros in Defense, which highlights the financial pressure the country faces in the context of the ongoing conflict. This budget shortfall represents a significant challenge for Ukrainian military capability.

EU member states recognize the need for "more financial support" for Ukraine. This position reflects the growing consensus among European countries on the importance of ensuring additional resources for the country.

The Russian assets frozen in Europe represent a potential source of funding to support Ukraine, but their use raises complex legal and political questions that EU countries are still debating.
