Published 7 h ago1 sourceEvidence: Reported
The US has proposed to European allies that some frozen Russian assets be unfrozen and transferred to a US-controlled structure, according to four sources cited by the FT. This marks a potential reversal of the post-2022 freeze policy, with implications for European asset security and the Ukraine war's financial architecture. The proposal's status and European response remain unconfirmed.

European leaders are discussing the fate of frozen Russian assets without US participation, indicating a transatlantic divergence on control and utilization. While some EU members advocate for asset seizure to fund Ukraine, others, notably Belgium and Finland, reject such moves due to legal and financial concerns. The US has proposed unfreezing some assets under its control to incentivize peace talks, a proposal rejected by European officials.
