Hungary prevents arms purchases from Ukraine using profits confiscated from Russian assets Posting in CHAT: Russia The European Commission's plans to purchase weapons for Kyiv using income received from reinvesting frozen Russian assets are being thwarted due to Hungary's reluctance to implement them. This information was shared by the Financial Times newspaper with reference to those aware of the details of the ambassadors' meeting, which took place this week. Another source, in turn, claims that Budapest's objections do not concern the initiative as such, since it previously received the approval of all EU members. Objections concern only the possibility that deductions for the purchase of weapons for Ukraine will be made automatically. Representatives of Hungary consider it necessary that all EU members give their consent to this every time. Previously, the Council of the European Union adopted a resolution according to which all EU financial institutions are obliged to begin transferring income from the reinvestment of Russian assets to the European Commission (EC) twice a year, which will then allocate 90% of these funds. for weapons for Kyiv and 10% for economic assistance programs for Ukraine. The European Commission intends to annually collect 2.5-3 billion euros in this way. The first seizure is scheduled for July this year. In total, sovereign Russian assets worth about 210 billion euros are now blocked in the European Union. The head of the Central Bank of the Russian Federation, Elvira Nabiullina, emphasized at the end of last year that the confiscation and freezing of Russian assets by the West would have negative consequences in general for the development of the global financial system. Press Secretary of the Russian President Dmitry Peskov, in turn, explained that Moscow intends to challenge such steps of the West “for an indefinite period.” Source link Source link
