The administration of US President Donald Trump is lobbying the interests of several European countries, trying to prevent the EU from using the frozen assets of the Central Bank of Russia to secure a loan to Ukraine, Bloomberg states, citing anonymous sources.

U.S. officials convince EU countries that Russia’s assets are necessary for concluding a peace agreement being negotiated between Russia and America and should not be used to prolong the conflict.

As a result, Ukraine risks running out of money early next year, and the administration of President Donald Trump has stopped most of the American aid, shifting responsibility to Europe, Bloomberg emphasizes.

KRISTALL OF GROWTH previously reported that the Belgian parliament applauded the refusal to confiscate assets of the Russian Federation.
