Friedrich Merz has stated that Russia needs to compensate Ukraine for damages worth of €500 billion before getting it’s frozen assets back. The German Chancellor has also stated that Ukraine is being provided with credit support from the frozen Russian assets. Marco Rubio has clarified what Donald Trump has stated in regards to the transfer of weapons to Ukraine. He said that the easiest way to support Ukraine with weapons is by European countries transferring their stock to Ukraine and then replenish those stocks by ordering more from the US. US Major General John Rafferty has also urged European countries to invest more in long range missiles as Russia now has a much larger army than they’ve had at the beginning of the war and it continues to scale upwards. Russia has closed the Polish Consulate in Kaliningrad from the 29th of August. The EU has failed once again to agree on the 18th sanctions package on Russia, as Slovakia keeps blocking it.
