Turin, Dec. 5 (LaPresse) – The United States has exerted pressure on several European Union countries in an attempt to block EU plans to use the frozen assets of the Russian central bank to support a large loan to Ukraine. Bloomberg reports, citing diplomats, that U.S. officials argued before member states that the assets are needed to help secure a peace agreement between Kyiv and Moscow and should not be used to prolong the war.
