Finnish President Alexander Stubb met with NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte in Brussels on November 17, ahead of discussions with Belgium's Prime Minister Bart de Wever.
Stubb emphasized the importance of EU solidarity in supporting Ukraine, highlighting three potential options to finance Kyiv, including the use of frozen Russian assets. He expressed hope that European leaders will find solutions ahead of the December European Council meeting.
European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen also confirmed that financing Ukraine could involve loans, asset use, or a combination of methods. The discussions follow EU leaders’ agreement last month to address Ukraine’s urgent financial needs for the next two years.
