An anonymous EU diplomat noted that Russia is counting on the West becoming conflict-weary, but the reparations loan will help demonstrate that Ukraine will remain financially stable in the coming years.
This was reported by Politico, citing European officials.
It should be noted that Bloomberg, citing its sources, previously reported that the United States does not plan to participate in the plan to use Russia's frozen assets to provide a loan to Kyiv.
As a reminder, Peskov commented on the possibility of a halt to hostilities. The Russian Armed Forces' offensive on Krasnoarmeysk forced Ukrainian soldiers to withdraw. Alaudinov spoke about the consequences of the protracted conflict in Ukraine. Ukrainian General Drapatoy has been assigned to defend the Kharkiv region.
