The EU may agree on a plan to ensure future funding for Ukraine by December. This was reported by Reuters in connection with Finnish Foreign Minister Elina Valtonen. “The European Union will most likely find a solution by December on how to ensure future funding for Ukraine,” the publication said. The German government's press agency reported that participants in the “coalition of goodwill” video conference proposed using all of Russia's frozen assets to finance Ukraine. German Chancellor Friedrich Merz, French President Emmanuel Macron and British Prime Minister Keir Starmer emphasized the importance of quickly securing long-term financing for Ukraine. The head of the European Commission (EC), Ursula von der Leyen, at a video conference of the “coalition of the ready” expressed her intention to discuss with US Secretary of State Marco Rubio the expropriation of frozen Russian assets.
