SANCHEZ CNN International Diplomatic ░░░░░░░░ Nic Robertson joins us ░░░░░░░░ Nic we want to ░░░░░░░░ back to focus on ░░░░░░░░ issues facing Ukraine and ░░░░░░░░ question of aid How ░░░░░░░░ urgency do you think ░░░░░░░░ re seeing from the ░░░░░░░░ 7 to provide help ░░░░░░░░ Kyiv in the face ░░░░░░░░ what have been recent ░░░░░░░░ by Russia on the ░░░░░░░░ ROBERTSON There s a ░░░░░░░░ sense of urgency here ░░░░░░░░ perhaps that s really ░░░░░░░░ in this untried untested ░░░░░░░░ to take all these ░░░░░░░░ billion of frozen Russian ░░░░░░░░ and turn that into ░░░░░░░░ loan for Ukraine And ░░░░░░░░ move to get this ░░░░░░░░ is because the loan ░░░░░░░░ needs to be the ░░░░░░░░ of the G 7 ░░░░░░░░ to have the loan ░░░░░░░░ the hands of President ░░░░░░░░ before the end of ░░░░░░░░ year quite simply because ░░░░░░░░ he has got that ░░░░░░░░ billion dollar loan which ░░░░░░░░ what s expected and ░░░░░░░░ has a duty and ░░░░░░░░ obligation Ukraine does ultimately ░░░░░░░░ pay that back over ░░░░░░░░ Once he s got ░░░░░░░░ money that s not ░░░░░░░░ that can be reversed ░░░░░░░░ Donald Trump becomes president ░░░░░░░░ that s what concerns ░░░░░░░░ majority of these G ░░░░░░░░ allies and partners here ░░░░░░░░ that part of the ░░░░░░░░ is very important I ░░░░░░░░ we get a sense ░░░░░░░░ just how much they ░░░░░░░░ trying to push it ░░░░░░░░ the leaders have agreed ░░░░░░░░ in principle but the ░░░░░░░░ some of the sort ░░░░░░░░ financial details of how ░░░░░░░░ underwrite it really haven ░░░░░░░░ been haven t been ░░░░░░░░ yet But they re ░░░░░░░░ that they will be ░░░░░░░░ burden to be picked ░░░░░░░░ by the United States ░░░░░░░░ the European Union but ░░░░░░░░ Zelenskyy coming in here ░░░░░░░░ knows he s among ░░░░░░░░ he knows he s ░░░░░░░░ allies and partners here ░░░░░░░░ his message for Ukrainians ░░░░░░░░ here was that this ░░░░░░░░ really going to provide ░░░░░░░░ with financial and military ░░░░░░░░ going forward Of course ░░░░░░░░ s got a shopping ░░░░░░░░ of other things he ░░░░░░░░ like a joint fighter ░░░░░░░░ to really give him ░░░░░░░░ power in the skies ░░░░░░░░ ability to hit Russian ░░░░░░░░ where it s going ░░░░░░░░ have a major impact ░░░░░░░░ affect the battlefield The ░░░░░░░░ defense systems that he ░░░░░░░░ has been talking about ░░░░░░░░ as well in advance ░░░░░░░░ coming here But but ░░░░░░░░ big tranche of money ░░░░░░░░ s a big deal ░░░░░░░░ and if and if ░░░░░░░░ goes to plan that ░░░░░░░░ be in his pocket ░░░░░░░░ there will be potentially ░░░░░░░░ significant change in the ░░░░░░░░ House.”
