Dmitri Medvedev warns that the confiscation of Russian assets by the EU could justify a war, while the EU discusses a reparations loan for Ukraine.

Dmitri Medvedev, the Deputy Chairman of the Security Council of Russia, warned that if the European Union confiscates Russian frozen assets, Moscow could interpret this gesture as an act of war. Medvedev emphasized that Russia could consider this action a casus belli, with serious implications for EU member states. His statement comes in the context of the European Commission's College approving a "potential reparations credit" for Ukraine, which involves the confiscation of Russian assets.

Ursula von der Leyen mentioned that Ukraine will need 135 billion euros to support the functioning of the state and continue its resistance. Although most EU countries support the plan, Belgium has been criticized for blocking it, fearing possible legal actions from Russia. Ukraine considers the measure a temporary solution.
