Germany Proposes EUR 140 Billion Loan for Ukraine Using Frozen Russian Assets

German Federal Chancellor Friedrich Merz has called on the European Union to use frozen Russian assets to finance Ukraine’s military spending, arguing that such a step would make it possible to unblock a loan for Kyiv in the amount of EUR 140 billion and demonstrate ‘resilience’ against Russian aggression, the Financial Times reported on Thursday.
