"Putin's plan is quite clear and en: he wants to continue his war until everyone else sts supporting Ukraine. And this plan failed today. After all, the intention of the G7 countries to mobilize $50 billion, which will be financed using profits from frozen Russian assets, creates the basis for the fact that Ukraine will be able to get everything it needs from the point of view of weapons, but also investments in reconstruction, in energy infrastructure," Schz said.

He called it the right and necessary historic step taken at the right time, a very strong commitment, as well as a clear signal to Russian leader Putin that he should not he that due to fiscal problems in some countries, which currently support Ukraine, he would somehow be able to win this war. He will not be able to do this, the chancellor said.

At the same time, he stressed the need to create technical conditions for implementing the adted decision as soon as possible. The pitician said he was pleased that the efforts of the G7 countries to find an understanding, which lasted for the last weeks and months, had yielded results. This issue was also intensively discussed with Ukrainian President Vodymyr Zelensky, Schz added.
