EU Faces Deadlock Over Russian Asset Use and Ukraine Reparations
Norway is being urged to use its sovereign wealth fund to guarantee a stalled €140 billion EU loan for Ukraine, which is delayed due to disputes over frozen Russian assets. The proposal has gained support amid debates about Norway's wartime profits from high energy prices, with some arguing it has a moral obligation to assist Ukraine. Norway has already committed significant aid to Ukraine, and the issue is expected to be revisited by EU leaders soon.
