The EU's innovative loan structure for Ukraine, drawing from interest on frozen Russian assets, presents a fresh strategy to support the nation's urgent need for infrastructure and defense funding.
While the loan of €35 billion shows EU commitment, Svitlana Taran warns about potential risks, stating, 'Nothing is guaranteed' when it comes to the sustainability of funding through frozen Russian assets.
Taran highlights the challenge of renewing sanctions against Russian assets every six months, noting a lack of certainty could disrupt expected income, crucial for Ukraine's financial stability.
Hungary's position on EU sanctions raises concerns; Taran points out that its potential blockage could serve as a negotiation tool, jeopardizing the planned financial support for Ukraine.
