Baltic: Baltics join call to use Russian assets to help Ukraine

The three Baltic States have joined Finland, Ireland, Poland, and Sweden in urging the EU to use frozen Russian assets to help Ukraine, LETA reports. The seven member states sent a joint letter to European Commission (EC) President Ursula von der Leyen and European Council President António Costa to express support for the EC’s proposal to provide a war reparations loan to Ukraine using frozen Russian assets. Such a solution was “the most financially appropriate and politically realistic,” the letter stated.
