The European Union is considering two basic options for decisions on using frozen Russian assets to provide financial support to Ukraine in the coming years. This was stated by the EU spokesperson for economic affairs, Balázs Ujvári, whose words were quoted by The Guardian.

According to him, there are two fundamental approaches under discussion: the so-called “reparations loan” and an alternative joint borrowing mechanism. These models are currently being actively discussed ahead of the European Council summit.
Ujvári emphasized that the proposed solutions should ensure stable financing for Ukraine in 2026–2027. According to available assessments, the resource situation for Kyiv at the beginning of the year is under control; however, new financial instruments may be needed as early as spring.
The European Commission spokesperson stressed that this approach shapes Brussels’ vision of the timeframe and scale of further financial support for Ukraine, particularly in the context of changing global political circumstances under the presidency of Donald Trump in the United States.
