Von der Leyen pushes action on frozen Russian assets

 European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen said on Monday that using the profits from immobilized Russian assets is essential to raising "the cost of war for Russia." She urged European leaders to swiftly approve the proposed Reparations Loan to strengthen Ukraine's support and Europe's overall defense.

Von der Leyen stressed on X that "we do not have any more time to lose," adding that Europe has "the means and the will" to amplify pressure on Moscow. She noted that Ukraine appears in 15 of the 19 Security Action for Europe (SAFE) defense plans submitted by European Union states.

Her remarks follow a joint letter from the leaders of seven EU countries calling the frozen-asset proposal "the most financially feasible and politically realistic solution" to sustain Ukraine's defense. Earlier in the day, Zelensky said he and the United Kingdom, German, and French leaders aligned on next steps for "security guarantees and reconstruction."
