On Wednesday, the European Union approved a plan to use the proceeds from the investment of Russian assets frozen in Europe for the purchase of weapons for the benefit of Ukraine. However, Ukraine's Justice Minister Denys Malyuska expressed doubts that these funds, estimated at €3 billion, will be sufficient for the country's needs, Politico reports.
"When it comes to Ukraine's needs and needs in terms of the conflict, both military and non-military, three million euros is actually almost nothing. To win the war, we need hundreds of billions," Malyuska said in an interview with the newspaper.
The Ukrainian minister also noted that Kyiv wants the EU to fully confiscate Russian assets.
"The government of Ukraine would very much like to see full confiscation [of Russian assets] and is truly convinced that this step will be legal and is the only approach that will have a decisive impact on the outcome of the war," he said.
