00:00The European Union High Representative Kaya Kalas has said that if Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban continues to block the
00:0790 billion euro loan intended for Ukraine, the European Union will have to reconsider using frozen Russian assets.
00:16Kaya made the comments during a visit to Kyiv with several EU foreign ministers to commemorate the fourth anniversary of
00:23the Bucha massacre.
00:24The loan that we are working right now to deliver, that we agreed in the end of last year, but
00:34let me remind you that that was actually plan B. Plan A was the use of frozen assets.
00:40So we should also keep in mind that if plan B does not work, let's go back to plan A.
00:47But we definitely need to deliver Ukraine the financing that they need to resist the Russian aggression.
00:55At the commemoration event, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky took the opportunity to emphasize that Europe's own security is also at
01:04stake because of the war.
01:05Russia must not be left in any position that it could see as better than before, not in territory, not
01:14in technologies, not in politics.
01:17This is essential for peace in Europe.
01:20Zelensky also said he was confident that the U.S. will also resume its support for Ukraine as soon as
01:26its attention is no longer tied in the Middle East conflict.
