We are integrating into the Single European Market. During this visit to Brussels, we signed five agreements with our European partners. Three of them are with the EIB, which will allocate an additional EUR 300 million for the restoration of energy and critical infrastructure.
In addition, two agreements concern joint procurement of medicines and vaccines. Ukraine will also join the components of the Copernicus program, which will contribute to the development of the space industry of our state.
Ukraine has also received EUR 1 billion from frozen Russian assets. We are talking to all our partners about the fact that we need to create a clear legal framework for the full confiscation of Russian frozen assets this year.
