The Spanish Minister of Economy, Carlos Body, said Friday that his government supports the efforts of the European Commission to monetize underlying frozen Russian assets that are in the EU to help finance the Ukrainian government.
“From Spain we have advocated to maximize financing for Ukraine …”, said body in an interview with Bloomberg TV. “We are advocating to really seek creative ways to also use those immobilized assets.”
Body also said that Spain, which is one of the main importers of Russian liquefied natural gas in the European Union, I was working to reduce these imports and diversify with supplies from countries such as the United States.
