"We will work on this issue. You know the reason for the blocking. We will work on it. We will definitely unblock the money. The question of the first 45 billion tranche for this year... we understand that this is life for us," Zelenskyy said.
He noted that part of the funds will go to domestic production, particularly defense — a record figure is expected in this area.
"I am confident that we will unblock it. Or we will find a way around this blocking," Zelenskyy added.
Recall
European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen and European Council President António Costa stated that the EU decided in December to provide a 90 billion euro loan to Ukraine, and will fulfill this one way or another.
