French MPs propose using frozen Russian assets for Ukraine's reconstruction. After the start of the war in Ukraine, the European Union and the G7 countries sanctioned Moscow by freezing the assets of the Russian central bank on their territory.
There are 300 billion euros which, for the most part, are in Belgium, which are assets of Russian Central Bank which have been frozen for almost two years. We do nothing about it and we propose to allocate them to support Ukraine. This is five times the sums that were released at European level during the last aid package.
