commission allocated to ukraine the first 4.5 billion euros from a special fund for the total amount of 50 billion. this was announced by the high representative of the european union for foreign policyjose borel, at a press conference. according to the results of the meeting, or rather, according to the results of the council of the ukraine -eu association, he also proposed to direct to support to ukraine, income from russian assets in europe. let's listen to what borel said. putin has repeatedly spoken messages aimed at the start of the third world war. we heard what he said in his so-called election campaign. he has imperial ambitions to advance further to the west. i am sure that... he would not stop at conducting an exclusively military operation on the territory of ukraine. so, now we have no opportunity to delay the next steps. we must act to put frozen russian assets to good use of ukraine. we are working on it now. mr. volodymyr, the decision on the use of frozen assets of the russian federation in favor of ukraine has not yet been adopted. all over the world, frozen somewhere close. 300 billion dollars, if european countries and the european union make such a decision regar

and now the commission has made its allocation to say, let's take 90 percent of those proceeds for the war if it's and 10 percent for budget support for ukraine. that's right. the foreign policy chief is suggesting 90 percent should go to a military fund. do we know what member states think about this? so we know that a number of them are. 7 in support of the idea, especially because of the situation that ukraine finds itself in now that dwindling resources to 5 tools that russian invasion, i have to remind you that the u. s. a. congress is still holding up that ministry aid package. so there is really concerns about additional military aid for ukraine being urgently needed and not being available. so it member states and support this idea. say right now, this money needs to go to that because previous discussions were about using these proceeds to build ukraine to reconstruct, to ukraine of, to the will in, in recent days. that's taken a shift there. um, in the states who are uncomfortable with the idea of using this money to find the war. if it's they think these are, these are states like hundreds of boxes. they think that this is essentially escalating this war. they woul

commission allocated the first 4.5 billion euros from the ukrainian fund for a total amount of 50 billion. this was announced today by the representative of the european union in matters of foreign policy, josep borel. these funds will direct 4.5 billion euros to the restoration, reconstruction and modernization of our state. we finally waited for the first one tranche as promised, he supports the ukrainian economy and, importantly, the financial system. let's listen to the direct speech. putin has repeatedly spoken messages aimed at the start of the third world war. we heard what he said in his former election campaign. he has imperial ambitions to advance further to the west. i am sure that he would not stop at conducting an exclusively military operation on the territory. of ukraine, therefore, now we have no opportunity to delay the next steps, we must act to direct frozen russian assets in favor of ukraine. we are working on it now. well, it will be another, really important step, in addition to money from the fund for ukraine, to also receive interest from frozen russian, russian assets. well, let's go further. a mobile application from the zanya service will appear this year. it

> senator kyle was vice chair of the commission and he felt very strongly about this and was worried about some of the divisions within the country on foreign policy and said essentially it's our fault my colleagues fault in congress, u.s. leaders need to do better job of making the case to the american people about what are the stakes, why does this matter, why do they need to support nuclear modernization and other u.s. efforts. so we do have recommendations to members of congress to help us make the case and persuade the american people why this is important, why it's necessary. >> you mentioned whole of government primary and a preface you made a statement, united states does not have the right approach and the approach must be committed by the united states. what does that mean? >> so from a detroit perspective means all of government has to be working together in in a coordinated fashion. the that includes commerce and treasury. it includes the state department, clips duty includes nnsa. step think about it from a pure traditional ministry of defense deterrence perspective, we also have to broaden that aperture and think about what are the o

the commission has a lot of competence when it comes to trade deals, when it comes to setting the digital standards. but at the end of the day, the general political direction, or rather foreign policyments or the 27 member states we're talking about here. and of course, each member state, as you can imagine, they have their various very different considerations. germany talks a lot about trading relationship. chancellor 0laf scholz from another political grouping, the socialists, he's planning a trip to beijing in the next few weeks. so obviously there's still a lot of trade considerations and not again, bringing back to the trump, bringing back the trump theme. i mean, a lot of european capitals are also wondering what the transatlantic relationship is going to look like. and in that context, they're also a little bit wary about being too far away from the chinese trading relations or being too hostile in that regard. because at the end of the day, if the us is not focusing too much on transatlantic relationship, europe still needs china to a certain extent. how does the war in ukraine play into all this? it's an interesting one because china is also dispatching a special envoy fo
