The United States and the European Union have agreed to explore ways to use and transfer to Ukraine the proceeds of frozen Russian assets, reads the joint statement from an EU-U.S. summit released on Oct. 20.
The United States and the EU called on Russia to withdraw its troops from Ukraine and called for it to compensate Ukraine for the damage Russian forces have caused. The document also reiterates support for Ukraine's Peace Formula and readiness to support the country for as long as necessary while it is at war.
"As part of our efforts to aid Ukraine, in the short term, we will explore how any extraordinary revenues held by private entities stemming directly from immobilized Russian sovereign assets can be directed to Ukraine, where those extraordinary revenues are not required to meet obligations towards Russia under applicable laws," the joint statement reads.
The military war may be swinging in our favor, but the information war continues.
Just as an army needs soldiers, so does a free society need its journalists to ensure that people have access to honest, trustworthy voices to understand the world around them.
For the past five years, The New Voice of Ukraine has been working tirelessly to push back against Russian narratives and defend democracy. But we cannot do it alone.
