The European Union is preparing to decide how to raise 90 billion euros to support Ukraine in the period 2026-2027, in the context of pressures from the United States for a quick agreement between Ukraine and Russia. Thursday's summit in Brussels is seen as a crucial moment for European leaders, who have the opportunity to strengthen their influence.

There are two main options: the first proposes using the frozen assets of the Central Bank of Russia to provide Ukraine with an interest-free loan, while the second option is a joint loan on financial markets. However, the proposal for a loan based on Russian assets faces significant resistance from Belgium, the main custodian of these assets.

Ursula von der Leyen emphasized the need to find a quick solution for financing Ukraine.
