The Spanish Prime Minister, Pedro Sánchez, called on Thursday for unity among the Twenty-Seven in the face of the debate in the European Union over the use of Russian assets to finance Ukraine.
This is one of the issues on the agenda of the last European Council of the year, which has conflicting positions among the community partners.
The Spanish Government supports the use of those assets to help Ukraine, but Sánchez, in statements to journalists before the debate that will take place on this summit, limited himself to underlining the need for unity when making the decision.

“What is important is what the President of the European Council, António Costa, said, that a decision must be made in one direction or another in relation to the support that the Ukrainian people and the Government of Ukraine need at these critical moments,” he pointed out.
Alongside the beginning of unity, Sánchez also defended that the Twenty-Seven act with coherence in everything that has to do with the multilateral order and act in the same way whether in Ukraine or in the situation in Gaza.
And to his request for unity and coherence, he added a call to action from the EU in the face of challenges ahead, such as housing, in which context he praised that the Commission has already launched a plan to address this problem that contains elements that his Government is implementing in Spain.
