| The EU wants to seize Russian assets and donate them to Ukraine |
It is being developed by the European Commission into a tool to collect the assets of sanctioned Russian individuals in all EU nations, with the proceeds going into a single fund for Ukraine's compensation." Didier Reynders, the European Commissioner for Justice, recently declared as much in a statement. Josep Borrell, the EU's High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy, has previously announced the decision. Arousing demonstrations in the Russian capital.
During an interview with the Financial Times, Borrell said that "EU members should consider taking frozen Russian foreign currency assets to help fund Ukraine's post-war rebuilding." The concept is not new in the international context: following the Taliban's re-accession to power in Afghanistan, the United States has decided to use billions of dollars in frozen assets of the Afghan Central Bank with the goal of allocating them in part to compensation for terrorist victims and in part to humanitarian assistance for Afghanistan. The following is a model that Brussels currently intends to apply to Ukraine: It is necessary to explain to me why Afghan money is preferable to Russian money, as said by Borrell. "We have cash in our wallets, and someone has to explain to me why it is preferable to Afghan money and not Russian money."
In response, Russian officials warned that such a move would amount to "jungle law" and would lead to the "destruction of the very foundations of international relations." According to Alexander Grushko, the deputy foreign minister of Moscow, such an action would amount to "destruction of the very foundations of international relations."
According to him, such a judgement "would have an impact on Europeans themselves and the West in general since it would be a completely criminal conduct."
