US Supports EU Plan to Use Frozen Russian Assets for Ukraine Aid

The United States has expressed full support for the European Union's proposal to utilize frozen Russian assets to aid Ukraine, according to an anonymous U.S. source familiar with the situation. The European Commission has proposed allowing EU governments to use up to 185 billion euros of the 210 billion euros worth of Russian sovereign assets currently frozen in Europe without confiscating them. This measure aims to increase pressure on Moscow while providing support to Ukraine.
