MILITARY UPDATE
- Ukraine has a legitimate right to fight on the territory of the aggressor country. Ukraine would continue attacks on military targets on the Russian territory. Every day, Russia causes enormous damage to Ukraine: on the temporarily occupied territories, on the frontline, and in the rear, it attacks civilian targets with missiles and drones.
- Ukraine attacks exclusively legitimate military targets: objects that service Putin’s aggression against Ukraine, including oil depots, military industrial complex facilities, and logistical hubs. Ukraine does not use weapons received from Western partners for this purpose.
- The more Moscow continues the war against Ukraine, the more damage Russia itself will suffer. The intensity of Ukrainian attacks will only grow further.
VOTING FOR FINANCIAL SUPPORT OF UKRAINE IN THE EU
- On February 1, the EU approved a package of macro-financial support to Ukraine in the amount of EUR 50 bln. The 27 EU countries demonstrated unity in the issue of further support for Ukraine. Ukraine has received a four-year financial support instrument.
- The vote for the aid package is not only financial support, but also an important signal of trust in Ukraine as a partner and future EU member.
- Russia’s plans to isolate Ukraine and deprive it of the partners’ support have failed.
FATE OF FROZEN RUSSIAN ASSETS
- On 29 January, the EU Council of Foreign Ministers agreed on a proposal to use profits from Russia’s frozen assets to support Ukraine’s recovery. Western sanctions have frozen about USD 300 bln of Russian assets.
- Russian aggression has caused and continues to cause significant damage to Ukraine. Using frozen Russian assets to rebuild Ukraine is a fair and expedient decision. The aggressor must pay for the damage caused.
- The decision to transfer profits from the frozen assets of Russia to Ukraine is the first step towards compensation by the aggressor state for the losses caused to Ukrainians.
