BRUSSELS (Reuters) -The European Union will on Thursday agree in principle to finance Ukraine for the next two years, EU Council chief Antonio Costa said, despite a Belgian threat to block its plan to use Russian frozen assets to aid Kyiv.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy, a guest at the EU summit in Brussels, said a quick passage of the plan to use the immobilised Russian assets to provide Ukraine with a 140 billion euro ($163.27 billion) loan would save lives.
