Europe, 19 December 2025.- After a tense day of discussions in Brussels, the leaders of the 27 EU Member States approved a €90 billion financial support plan for Ukraine on the night of 18-19 December. This funding, planned for the next two years, is intended to support Kiev's efforts in the face of war and to ensure the country's economic stability.
In the absence of unanimous agreement on the use of Russian assets frozen within the EU, Member States have finally opted for a traditional debt mechanism to unblock this aid. The use of Russian assets remains envisaged in the medium term, but political divisions are currently preventing its implementation.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky expressed appreciation for the X network, welcoming « crucial support » which offers Ukraine a prospect of financial security. He also stressed the need to keep Russian assets frozen until a common solution was found.
