According to Marchenko, yesterday's statement is only a political decision, while the mechanism itself is still being finalized at the technical level, in favor of Ukraine.
"This is a historic victory. It allows us to actually use Russian assets for the benefit of Ukraine right now. We were involved in the process, and we had several key conditions. We have to receive this money this year. This money must be unconditional. And this money should be used for any purpose and expenditure that Ukraine needs. We were listened to. And I hope that this will be implemented in the technical solution," Marchenko said.
