EU ambassadors on Wednesday, May 8, agreed to use profits from frozen Russian assets to support the Ukraine recovery and its defense against Russian aggression.
That’s according to the press service for the Belgian Presidency of the EU Council, Ukrinform reports.
The decision is yet to be finalized by the Council of the EU.
According to open sources, Euroclear currently has EUR 192 billion worth of assets of the Russian Central Bank on its balance sheet. The EU is looking for legal mechanisms to further deal with these immobilized resources, as well as the interest accrued on them, which has reached EUR 5 billion over the past two years.
乌克兰通讯社援引欧盟理事会比利时轮值主席国新闻处消息，欧盟大使于 5 月 8 日星期三同意使用冻结俄罗斯资产的利润来支持乌克兰的复苏和防御俄罗斯的侵略。
该决定尚未由欧盟理事会最终确定。
据公开消息称，欧洲清算银行目前持有俄罗斯央行1920亿欧元资产，欧盟正在寻求法律机制进一步处理这些冻结资产及其利息，过去两年这些利息已达50亿欧元。
