Spanish Economy Minister Carlos Cuerpo said on Friday, September 19, that his government supports the European Commission's efforts to monetize frozen Russian assets to finance Ukraine. This was reported by Reuters, writes UNN.
From Spain's side, we have insisted on maximizing funding for Ukraine… We also insist on finding creative ways to use these frozen assets.

The European Union is discussing using frozen Russian assets for a "reparation loan" to Ukraine to avoid a Hungarian veto. This would allow Kyiv to receive compensation for war damages.
