US floats unfreezing some Russian assets to restart Ukraine talks
Original: US floats unfreezing some Russian assets to restart Ukraine peace talks, FT reports
The United States has floated unfreezing some Russian sovereign assets as a possible incentive to bring Russia back into negotiations on ending the war in Ukraine, according to a Financial Times report carried by Reuters. The idea would mark a significant concession, since Western countries froze roughly $300 billion in Russian assets after the 2022 invasion, and any release would be contentious among allies.
Why now: It signals a potential shift in US diplomacy on the Ukraine war and touches on billions in frozen assets, a highly sensitive issue for allies.
