The European Union's foreign policy chief Josep Borrell has said this morning that he would put forward a proposal that would ensure a member state could not block the use of proceeds from frozen Russian financial funds to support Ukraine.
"We have a legal procedure in order to avoid any kind of blockage," Mr Borrell said before a meeting of EU foreign affairs ministers in Luxembourg.
His proposal will be put on the table at today's meeting.
Mr Borrell also added that the decision on funds for Ukraine must be taken immediately.
EU countries also agreed on Monday to a new package of sanctions against Russia over its war in Ukraine.
The bloc's 14th package of sanctions against Russia includes a ban on reloading Russian liquefied natural gas in the EU for further shipment to third countries.
It also offers the EU more tools to crack down on the circumvention of sanctions, as well as targeting an additional 116 individuals and entities for actions against Ukraine.
