Warski: Europe must seize frozen Russian assets to avert war

Polish expert Wojciech Warski argues in Rzeczpospolita that Europe's only remaining lever to avoid a hard military confrontation with Russia is a radical, multi-domain economic coercion campaign, including seizing frozen Russian assets despite retaliation risks. This is an opinion piece, not a policy announcement, so its market impact is indirect, but it reflects a hardening European discourse on Russia as of late September 2026.
