West, indicated a senior US government official. ”We have a political agreement at the highest level for this pact. And there are 50,000 million dollars this year that will be allocated to Ukraine”said a senior official in the Joe Biden administration who spoke on condition of anonymity.
US President Joe Biden and the leaders of Italy, the United Kingdom, France, Germany, Canada and Japan began two days of talks in the Apulia region of southern Italy on Thursday.
Support for Ukraine, ravaged by war since the Russian invasion two years ago, is top of the agenda and President Volodymyr Zelensky joined G7 leaders for a special session on Thursday.
The plan for Ukraine seeks to use the interests generated by the nearly 300,000 million euros (325,000 million dollars) of Russian assets, frozen by Western allies after the February 2022 invasion, as collateral to grant a loan of 50,000 million dollars to the country at war.
”We will not be the only lenders. This will be a loan syndicate. “We are going to share the risk, because we have a shared commitment to do this,” the US official said.
However, he did not clarify the role of the rest of the G7 members.
