German Chancellor Rejects US Proposal on Russian Assets and Additional Funding
After the G20 summit, German Chancellor Merz stated that the financial arrangements in the new '28-point' plan proposed by the United States are unacceptable. He emphasized that the U.S. has no right to use the Russian central bank's assets frozen within the EU. Additionally, Germany did not agree with the U.S. request for an extra $100 billion in funding from Europe. The EU plans to use these frozen assets to provide loans to Ukraine for purchasing weapons.
