Quick Glance: Europe Considers Using Profits from Russian Assets to Arm Ukraine
  • Following the freezing of over $300 billion in assets, European leaders may propose utilizing profits from immobilized assets to aid Ukraine.

  • A proposal could offer about $3 billion annually for weapons to support Ukraine in battle as U.S. funding stalls and Ukraine faces desperation.

  • Despite the potential aid for Ukraine, the proposal is viewed by some as not extraordinary but also not negligible.

  • The debate on using frozen assets gains momentum as the EU grapples with how to address Russia's threat to global stability.
