The EU has exhausted the possibilities of financing Ukraine, discussions about the seizure of Russian assets have resumed

The European Union has reached the limit of its ability to finance Ukraine, which has renewed discussions about the seizure of Russian assets.

Some EU countries, on whose territory a small share of Russian funds are stored, are promoting the idea of ​​seizing Russian assets.

There is no consensus within the EU on the issue of seizure of Russian assets, and some countries are not ready to support this measure.

MOSCOW, September 23 - RIA Novosti. The European Union can no longer support Ukraine at its own expense, so discussions have resumed in Brussels about the seizure of Russian assets to finance Kyiv, Vladislav Maslennikov, director of the Department of European Problems of the Russian Foreign Ministry, said in an interview with RIA Novosti.

Earlier, the Russian Foreign Intelligence Service (SVR) said that experts in the European Union are discussing proposals to create a new structure where Russian assets could be hidden, removing them from the Euroclear depository located in the Belgian jurisdiction. European bureaucrats fear that without the confiscation of Russian assets they will not be able to endlessly finance the Kiev regime, the SVR noted.

“The European Union has objectively reached the limit of its capabilities in terms of financing the constantly growing needs of the Kyiv regime. In fact, the “united Europe” in confrontation with us is increasingly looking like an “impoverished Europe,” Maslennikov said.

“This determines the next round of discussion about the seizure of Russian holdings, which is being promoted by those countries on whose territory either nothing is stored or a small share of our funds is located - Sweden, the Netherlands, Spain, Poland, Germany,” he explained.

At the same time, recent meetings of the European Council have shown that there is no consensus within the EU on the topic of seizure of Russian assets, the diplomat emphasized. He noted that some EU countries are not ready to take responsibility for the theft of Russian assets.
