The financial mechanisms for utilizing the revenues from frozen Russian assets to aid Ukraine will commence in January 2025, announced Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky.
"Politically, everything is already in place for funds from Russian assets to start genuinely assisting Ukraine, so separate financial mechanisms should begin operating in January. This is crucial for Ukraine – Russian assets must work to defend against Russian aggression," Zelensky stated at a press conference on Sunday following his meeting with the new President of the European Council, António Costa, who visited Kyiv.
The head of state emphasized that "regular disbursements next year will significantly support financial stability in Ukraine."
