The United States has proposed that European countries unfreeze a portion of Russian sovereign assets frozen after Moscow's invasion of Ukraine and transfer them to a vehicle overseen by Washington, in an attempt to revive stalled peace talks. The proposal raises difficult questions for European capitals over legality, risk and leverage, with Moscow rejecting use of its assets and Europeans wary of setting precedents.

Why now: It signals a potential shift in Western strategy on frozen Russian assets as efforts to restart Ukraine peace talks intensify.
