Latvian Prime Minister confident that frozen russian assets are ‘usable’

This was stated by Latvian Prime Minister Evika Silina before the start of an informal meeting of EU leaders in Copenhagen on 1 October, according to European Pravda.

Latvia is convinced that the EU should use russia's frozen assets to support Ukraine.

‘We have been calling for a long time to use these frozen assets for the benefit of Ukraine. But now the Commission has a proposal, and we really need to see its details. I believe that we should use the frozen russian assets,’ Silina said.

She added that ‘Ukraine desperately needs significant financial resources to strengthen its army, obtain security guarantees and meet its military needs — this is what it needs today, not sometime later.’ 

‘So we need to make a decision, and these assets are indeed usable,’ the Latvian prime minister concluded.
