It is necessary to use frozen Russian assets for the benefit of Ukraine, in particular, to rebuild damaged and destroyed infrastructure as a result of Russia's military aggression. This was reported on Twitter (X) by Estonian Prime Minister Kaja Kallas.
"We need to continue to use frozen Russian assets for Ukraine. I am glad that my calls are being met with steps forward not only in the EU but also among the G7, including the US Congress and the UK. The idea was supported by prominent lawyers and economists," Kallas wrote.
She noted that the use of frozen assets is not only morally but also legally correct international legal norm aimed at compensating for the damage caused by aggression.
The Estonian Prime Minister emphasized that such a step would help restore and support Ukraine, which is in particular need of support now, and summarized the importance of demonstrating political leadership to ensure the security of the world.
She is expected to discuss further steps with EU leaders this week.
