Within a settlement to Ukraine .. Russia may give up frozen assets of 300 billion dollars

Three sources told Reuters that Russia may agree to the use of $ 300 billion of the frozen sovereign assets in Europe for reconstruction in Ukraine, but it will insist on spending part of the money on an area of ​​20% controlled by its forces.

Russia and the United States held the first talks to end the Ukraine war on February 18 in Saudi Arabia, and US President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin said they were hoping at the meeting soon.

After Putin sent forces to invade Ukraine in 2022, the United States and its allies banned transactions with the Russian Central Bank and the Ministry of Finance, which led to the blocking of 300 to 350 billion dollars of Russian sovereign assets, most of which are European, American, and British government bonds reserved in a European securities warehouse.
