ČRo Radiožurnál | Use of Russian assets under the European Peace Facility
The European Commission has proposed how to make use of frozen Russian assets in Europe after the start of the Russian invasion of Ukraine. Up to ninety percent of the assets would be used to buy weapons for Ukraine under the so-called European Peace Facility. The remaining 10% would be transferred to the EU budget and used for the recovery and reconstruction of Ukraine. The proposal still needs to be unanimously approved by EU foreign ministers. Martin Vokálek, Executive Director of EUROPEUM Institute, commented on what this proposal will mean for Ukraine and the European Union for Czech Radio Radiožurnál.

ČRo Radiožurnál | Využití ruských aktiv v rámci Evropského mírového nástroje
Evropská komise navrhla, jak využít zmražená ruská aktiva po zahájení invaze na Ukrajinu. Až devadesát procent by se mohlo využít k nákupu zbraní pro Ukrajinu v rámci takzvaného Evropského mírového nástroje. Zbylých deset procent by se převedlo do unijního rozpočtu a následně využilo k obnově Ukrajiny. Návrh musí ještě jednomyslně schválit ministři zahraničí členských států. Co tento návrh bude znamenat pro Ukrajinu i Evropskou unii komentoval pro Radiožurnál výkonný ředitel Institutu EUROPEUM Martin Vokálek.

TN.cz | Blinken discussed war in Ukraine with EU foreign ministers in Brussels
The US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken participated in the meeting of the EU foreign ministers of the member countries in Brussels. This unusual meeting may be motivated by the stalled financial aid of the United States to Ukraine or the upcoming elections on both continents. Current leaders have limited time to continue with existing projects and are likely to try to make deals before newly elected political leaders take their chairs. Martin Vokálek, executive director of the EUROPEUM Institute, spoke about this issue on the main evening broadcast on TV Nova.
