Four European Union member states, including the Netherlands, Poland, Spain, and Sweden, have called on Brussels to reopen discussions regarding the use of frozen Russian assets to support Ukraine. The countries urged the European Commission to revive a stalled plan to utilize immobilized Russian sovereign assets to fund the nation.
The push comes as Ukraine faces renewed funding challenges and a significant budget crunch. The move aims to plug a huge hole in Ukraine's finances at a time when Moscow shows no signs of wanting to end its war.
EU member states are under pressure to find a solution ahead of next year's election season. The group has requested that these discussions be reopened as early as next week.
