00:00Europe is loaning the money to Ukraine. They get their money back.

00:04No, in fact, to be frank, we paid. We paid 60% of the total default.

00:09And it was through, like the US, loans, guarantees, grants,

00:14and we provided real money, to be clear.

00:17We have 230 billion frozen assets in Europe, Russian assets,

00:21but this is not as a collateral of a loan because this is not our belonging.

00:26So they are frozen.

00:28If, at the end of the day, in the negotiation we will have with Russia,

00:31they are ready to give it to us, super.

00:34It will be loaned at the end of the day, and Russia will have paid for that.

00:37If you believe that, it's okay with me.

00:39If they get their money back, we don't, and now we do.

00:42But, you know, that's only fair.
