OREANDA-NEWS Instead of allocating a multibillion-dollar loan to Ukraine, the European Union could return frozen assets to Russia as part of a peaceful settlement, Armando Mema, a member of the Finnish Freedom Alliance party, wrote on the social network X.

"The EU could offer Russia to return the frozen assets as a de-escalation measure in preparation for peace talks to end the war. Instead, he claims "the right to use Russian assets in the future for the benefit of Ukraine." The EU could get a seat at the negotiating table, but nothing like that will happen. He continues the same strategy of failure," he said.

According to the politician, there is no doubt that the solution chosen by Europe, on the contrary, "will bring even more suffering to the Ukrainian people and the economic crisis to the Europeans."
