BRUSSELS, December 20. /TASS/. Although the European Union still refrains from stealing Russian assets, it reserves such an opportunity and undertakes a commitment to keep financing anti-Russian military actions in Ukraine, the Russian Permanent Mission to the European Union said in a statement.

"We regret to note that the leaders of the EU Member States have reaffirmed their course towards comprehensive support for the Kiev regime and further escalation of the Ukrainian conflict by continuing to finance military actions against Russia," Russian diplomats said.

"A decision has been made to grant Ukraine a so-called 'military loan' of 90 billion euro for 2026-2027, which will be provided through collective borrowing by the EU countries on capital markets, without the participation of Hungary, Slovakia and the Czech Republic," the document continues. "The loan is expected to be repaid through certain 'compensation' payments to Ukraine from our country in the future."

"At this stage, the European Union has refrained from outright theft of unlawfully blocked Russian sovereign assets. However, it has 'reserved' for itself the possibility of doing so in the future," the Russian diplomatic mission continued.
