Ursula von der Leyen detailed three funding options for addressing Ukraine's €135 billion budget gap, including €90 billion in bilateral grants, €90 billion in joint debt, and a €140 billion reparations loan from Russia's frozen assets. She emphasized the need for quick support, debt sustainability, and fair burden-sharing at an upcoming EU summit while Belgian hesitation surrounds the reparations loan due to legal risks. Swedish leaders like Ulf Kristersson and Maria Malmer Stenergard advocate using frozen Russian assets, with Stenergard urging all EU countries to share risks and push for an agreement on future aid.
