The European Commission proposed today that financial support for Ukraine in the next two years be provided with a loan from the financial markets or with the use of Russian property seized by EU sanctions, writes BTA.
It is planned that in case of drawing a loan from the EU, it will be tied to the European budget. In the other option, the EC would gain access to the property of the Russian Central Bank, held in a European depository.
According to the Commission, the necessary legal measures are foreseen against possible seizure of European property in countries around the world, except in Russia. The EC's announcement notes that today's proposal is to be discussed by the Council of the EU and the European Parliament, and progress is expected at the meeting of the European Council later this month.
