US floats unfreezing some Russian assets to revive Ukraine talks
Original: US floats unfreezing some Russian assets to restart Ukraine peace talks
The United States is considering unfreezing some Russian sovereign assets as an incentive to bring Moscow back to negotiations on ending the war in Ukraine. The proposal, reported by the Financial Times, would mark a significant shift in Western policy, since frozen Russian funds have been treated as potential leverage or compensation for Ukraine. The idea is likely to spark debate among allies and in Kyiv over whether easing sanctions pressure is a price worth paying for renewed peace talks.
Why now: It suggests a possible change in Western sanctions strategy at a sensitive moment in efforts to restart Ukraine peace negotiations.
