The head of the European Commission recently announced in a speech in the European Parliament that the European Union should use the profits from frozen assets of Russia to buy weapons for Ukraine.

The United States also insists that about 264 billion Euro, the blocked currency of Russia, should be used for Ukraine. On the other hand, due to legal reasons, EU countries only want to use the profits from these assets. Recently, Rishi Sonak, the British Prime Minister, emphasized the need to send more weapons to Ukraine. He announced his decisions to transfer the profits of Russia’s blocked assets to Kiev.

The European Union has saved billions of frozen funds of the Russian Central Bank in the shadow of sanctions in Russia’s war against Ukraine. The proceeds from this will be transferred to Ukraine in the future. The rotating presidency of the European Union in Belgium recently announced that the representatives of the 27 member states agreed on a proposal in this regard. Meanwhile, Russia warned the European Union last year that the property of the Russian government or citizens Do not confiscate Russia. In addition, according to experts, the direct use of Russian assets can lead to the loss of trust of other countries and investors in the European financial center and the withdrawal of assets from the European Union.
