A resolution proposal to use frozen Russian assets to support Ukraine’s war effort and reconstruction has been submitted to the French National Assembly, spearheaded by deputies Julien Bayou, Benjamin Haddad, and Maud Gatel.
Nearly €200 billion out of the €300 billion in frozen assets of the Russian central bank are immobilized within the European Union.
These frozen assets represent a significant financial resource that should be leveraged for both Ukraine’s defense and its reconstruction.
The use of these frozen Russian assets for Ukraine is driven by pragmatism as well as by international justice and responsibility.
It is the Russians, responsible for this war of aggression, who should bear its consequences and cover its costs.
