The European Union’s plan to fund Ukraine with €90bn (£79bn) of frozen Russian assets would be considered by Moscow as an “act of war”, former Russian president Dmitry Medvedev has said.
Medvedev, who now serves as deputy chair of Russia’s Security Council, was reacting to the plan that EU chief Ursula von der Leyen said on Wednesday would allow Kyiv to “defend [itself] and take forward peace negotiations from a position of strength”.
