Macron clarified that Europe had provided loans, guarantees and grants, also mentioning the existence of around $240bn of frozen Russian assets in Europe.
Macron emphasized that these assets were not collateral for loans, but could potentially become part of negotiations with Russia in the future.

00:00Europe is loaning the money to Ukraine. They get their money back.
00:04No, in fact, to be frank, we paid. We paid 60% of the total default.
00:09And it was through, like the US, loans, guarantees, grants,
00:14and we provided real money, to be clear.
00:17We have 230 billion frozen assets in Europe, Russian assets,
00:21but this is not as a collateral of a loan because this is not our belonging.
00:26So they are frozen.
00:28If, at the end of the day, in the negotiation we will have with Russia,
00:31they are ready to give it to us, super.
00:34It will be loaned at the end of the day, and Russia will have paid for that.
00:37If you believe that, it's okay with me.
00:39If they get their money back, we don't, and now we do.
00:42But, you know, that's only fair.
