300 billion euros – Von der Leyen: Use Russian funds for Ukraine

Date:

Ursula von der Leyen, President of the European Commission, wants to use frozen Russian assets to support Ukraine. To date, the damage in the war country is estimated at 600 billion euros. More than 300 billion euros in reserves of the Russian central bank are said to be blocked.

In addition, 19 billion euros from Russian oligarchs. “Russia and its oligarchs must compensate Ukraine for the damage and bear the costs of rebuilding the country,” Commission President von der Leyen said on Wednesday. The blocked funds must be managed and invested together with international partners.

New dish?
Another suggestion by der Leyens is to create a new specialized court for the prosecution of crimes committed during the war. “We are ready to work with the international community to provide as much international support as possible to this specialized court.” The Russian invasion of Ukraine brought death, devastation and unspeakable suffering, confirmed the President of the European Commission.

Power outage again
Ukrainian and Russian troops are currently fighting in the regions of Donetsk, Luhansk and Dnipropetrovsk, among others. The course of the front in the Donbass would have changed little in recent weeks. While Ukrainian troops accuse the Russians of firing artillery shells, a Russian governor accuses the Ukrainian army of attacking a power plant in Russia. “A total of about eleven missiles were fired. A power plant has been hit,” the governor of the Kursk region wrote on Telegram. For this reason, there were partial power cuts in Sudzha and Korenevo districts on Ukraine’s northeastern border.

There was no information about possible deaths or injuries. A fire broke out at a state fuel depot in the Bryansk border region of Russia. The fire brigade managed to get the fire under control. According to the newspaper “Izvestia”, a drone dropped a bomb containing diesel fuel over the tanks. The Ukrainian army has not yet claimed responsibility for the attacks.
