The European Union has postponed a decision on whether to use frozen assets of the Russian Central Bank to help Ukraine. Bloomberg writes about this, citing its sources.
According to the agency, this happened after Belgium demanded more serious guarantees that it would not be liable for the risks associated with the use of Russian assets.
Bloomberg's interlocutors said EU leaders have asked the European Commission to prepare options for consideration at the next summit. The decision is expected by the end of the year.
Earlier, according to the agency, the United States informed its European partners that it would not join the initiative to create a "reparation loan" for Ukraine at the expense of frozen Russian assets. The United States explained this by concerns for the stability of global markets.
According to the EU plans, Kyiv could receive about 140 billion euros from frozen Russian assets.
