The European official said this before the start of the ministerial meeting in Brussels.
“I expect to achieve final political agreement on a decision on the use of windfall income from frozen Russian assets,” RIA Novosti quotes him as saying.
Borrell added that he intends to achieve a solution in which the proceeds from Russian assets will be used, and not the funds themselves.
Earlier, the leader of the French Patriots party and candidate for the EP elections, Florian Philippot, said that the use of frozen Russian assets in the European Union is illegal and stupid.
