Rome, 21 December (LaPresse) – "We are concluding this historic week for Ukraine, a significant diplomatic week. The main thing is that we have provided Ukraine with €90 billion for two years. This is a key achievement in December, in many ways an important achievement for the whole year. There is a positive decision from Europe, we have fought long and hard for this decision, I want to thank everyone who helped us.‘ Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky wrote this on Telegram. ’It is important that Russian assets remain in Europe, remain frozen. Ukraine will receive at least €45 billion per year over the next two years. And these funds can only be repaid at the expense of Russian funds: Russia must pay for its war,‘ he added, explaining that ’€90 billion is a guarantee of financial security for everyone in Ukraine, absolutely real. Thanks to the European leaders: Antonio Costa, Ursula von der Leyen, to all the leaders of the states that have supported us." ‘We continue to work to ensure that all Russian assets are used for real protection from the Russian war and for the reconstruction of our state. Funds of this kind exist not only in Europe; we are in contact with every government. This is one of the most difficult tasks, no less difficult than supplying weapons to Ukraine. But we will solve this too. There will be funds for restoration,’ Zelensky concluded.
