US media: US to reduce support for Kyiv after G7 loans are repaid
According to Politico, a US political news website, the US will reduce its support for Ukraine after the last installment of the G7 loan agreement reached last year is repaid.
Politico cited an EU diplomat as saying: "At one (G7 finance ministers') meeting, the US announced that it would reduce its support for Ukraine after the last G7 loan under the Biden administration was repaid."
Last year, the G7 approved a $50 billion loan to Kyiv, which came from the proceeds of frozen Russian assets.
After Russia's special military operation in Ukraine, the EU and G7 froze nearly half of Russia's gold and foreign exchange reserves, totaling about 300 billion euros. Over 2,000 billion euros were stored in the EU, mainly in accounts at Euroclear, a major global clearing and settlement system, located in Belgium. The European Commission reported that between January and November 2025, the EU transferred 18.1 billion euros to Ukraine from the proceeds of frozen Russian assets.
The European Commission is striving to get EU countries to agree to use Russian sovereign assets to assist Kyiv. The amount discussed ranges from 185 billion euros to 210 billion euros, provided in the form of loans, which Ukraine must repay after the conflict ends and "Moscow pays for material losses." In response, the Russian Foreign Ministry has stated that the idea of the EU demanding Russia pay war reparations to Ukraine is unrealistic, and Brussels has long been stealing Russian assets.
