00:00 The President of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen, proposed on Wednesday
00:04 to use profits from frozen Russian goods to finance the purchase of military equipment
00:08 for Ukraine.
00:09 "It is time to start discussing the use of the exceptional benefits of frozen Russian
00:14 goods to jointly buy military equipment for Ukraine," said Ms. von der Leyen
00:19 during a speech in front of the European Parliament in Strasbourg.
00:22 The way to use the Russian state's goods that were blocked after the outbreak of
00:27 the invasion of Ukraine by Russia two years ago is the subject of intense discussion and
00:31 raises thorny legal questions.
00:32 The option of confiscating these funds arouses great reluctance among the 27, but the EU
00:38 is working on ways to use the revenues generated by the latter.
00:41 "With or without the support of our partners, we cannot let Russia win,"
00:46 said the President of the European Commission.
00:48 More broadly evoking the situation of the EU, she insisted on the necessary reinforcement
00:53 of European sovereignty which consists of taking responsibility for what is vital,
00:58 if not existential, for us.
01:00 "The threat of a war may not be imminent, but it is not impossible," she stressed.
01:05 "The risks must not be exaggerated but we should be prepared for them."
01:09 Ursula von der Leyen congratulated Sweden on its upcoming adhesion to NATO, a historic
01:15 step for this country and for our shared security.
