The EU has decided to freeze €210 billion of Russia’s central bank assets permanently — no more six-month renewals, no more waiting to see if the political winds change. These funds can now reliably generate money to support Ukraine. image.png Ursula von der Leyen: “We are sending Russia a clear signal: as long as this brutal war continues, Russia’s costs will only increase.” Why this is a big deal: For the ordinary person, here’s what it means in plain terms — Europe just locked away one of Russia’s biggest financial safety nets for good. This is money Moscow used to rely on to stabilize its economy, strengthen the ruble, and cushion the impact of sanctions. Losing access to it permanently is like losing a giant emergency fund. And because the EU can now use the profits from these frozen assets to help Ukraine, it creates a steady stream of funding that Russia can’t block or influence. In short: Europe just tightened the financial screws on Moscow in a way that will hurt for years — and it gives Ukraine a predictable new source of support. This is one of the most significant economic blows of the war so far.
Thomas Williams, the European governments' members are thieves taking other people's money, and should be held accountable by Russia, China, and the rest of the world's nations' governments. Dear President Trump, cut these losers loose.
