It should be possible to support the Mechanism by providing extraordinary revenues stemming from the immobilisation of Russian sovereign assets held in relevant jurisdictions other than the Union. To that end, it should be possible for third countries or other sources to contribute to the Mechanism. Additionally, it should be possible for Member States to contribute on a voluntary basis towards the Mechanism, in particular from revenues that accrue to the Member State concerned from the immobilisation of Russian sovereign assets. Such contributions should constitute external assigned revenue in accordance with Article 21(2), points (a), (d) and (e), of Regulation (EU, Euratom) 2024/2509 of the European Parliament and of the Council (the Financial Regulation). Furthermore, it should be possible for third countries to directly use extraordinary revenues stemming from the immobilisation of Russian sovereign assets within their jurisdiction to reduce the repayment needs of any respective bilateral loan provided to Ukraine, thereby supporting the Mechanism by reducing the total level of support that would be required for that loan.
